How The Guild is using GraphQL at scale
summary
GraphQL Hive is a schema registry plus live usage and performance monitoring that runs as an MIT‑licensed hosted SaaS or self‑hosted system. It combines static checks from GraphQL Inspector with obfuscated runtime usage to mark breaking changes only when real clients use removed fields, powers gateways (Apollo Federation, Polo Router, GraphQL Mesh) by serving merged schemas from a CDN, and runs at scale on Postgres, ClickHouse, Kafka, Pulumi and Cloudflare Workers.
