We used graphcool for our latest launch and it probably saved hundreds of back end dev hours. The team is really responsive on slack and intercom, the interface is great and really robust with query permissions and flexible mutation callbacks. The pricing is more than fair.

They've been a bit slow to implement new features for production, but I understand development timelines are hard to predict.

I think the product is in a pretty good place for a limited release right now. We are really looking forward to synchronous mutation callbacks and multi-region replication (currently only eu in production, us-west-2 and asia-pac are in beta). We're using lambda functions as in-betweens while we wait on synchronous callbacks and it's been totally fine, it just breaks the "GraphQL fits all your server api needs" paradigm.

Edit: it looks like today they just released "request pipeline" which is actually a pretty robust synchronous callback. Impressed at the thought that went into this. -- https://www.graph.cool/blog/2017-05-16-introducing-a-cli-fun...
