WunderGraph features

  • Connect any service. Expose gRPC, Kafka, NATS or Redis services through a unified GraphQL router without extra infrastructure.
  • Real-time streams. Router handles subscriptions, aggregating events from Kafka, NATS or Redis and pushes updates to clients.
  • MCP Gateway. One gateway turns approved operations into agent-ready tools with built-in authentication, eliminating separate MCP servers.
  • Graph governance hub. Shared canvas for schema design, review, ownership, proposals and safe deployments with audit logs and RBAC.
  • Cache warming. Pre-warm query planning cache to eliminate long planning delays for high-load scenarios.

WunderGraph Cosmo features

  • Self-hosted Router. Run the Cosmo router on any infrastructure with full control.
  • Event-Driven Federated Subscriptions. Combine GraphQL federation with Kafka, NATS or Redis for scalable subscriptions.
  • OpenTelemetry & Prometheus Support. Integrates with existing observability stacks for metrics and tracing.
  • Custom Router Modules. Extend the router with Go modules or gRPC plugins.
  • Schema Registry & Studio. Manage schemas, query plans and analytics via a unified UI.
  • Enterprise-grade Security. SOC 2 compliance, OIDC, SCIM and role-based access control on Cosmo Cloud.
