Hygraph

Hygraph (formerly GraphCMS) is a German, GraphQL-native headless CMS whose distinguishing feature is content federation: it unifies content from multiple backends, commerce systems, and third-party services behind a single GraphQL API, so front ends query everything in one request. Founded in 2017 in Gießen/Berlin and backed predominantly by European investors, it is offered as a managed cloud with EU hosting regions. It suits engineering-led teams that want an API-first content layer and prefer GraphQL over Contentful’s REST-first heritage.
