my613-api

my613-api is a multi-tenant, hosted GraphQL database solution converts a JSON based schema into a GraphQL API in addition to creating a database storage (MongoDB or RethinkDB) underneath.

GraphQL API is fully Relay compatible and contains CRUD operations as entry points.

Input is Relay-aware and declarative.

Additionally, my613-api provides Social Login with 5 providers (Auth0, Facebook, Google, Twitter and Github).

Functionality of my613-api can be extended by configuring hooks that call external web services.

It also provides a rich permission system based on defining graph paths to the user type.

my613-api was designed with scalability in mind, but so far doesn't have many possible performance improving tools, like e.g. cache or query optimizations.

Components

• schema creator ----------> gets list of types and creates db independent GraphQL API
• database connector ------> abstracts out RethinkDB and MongoDB specifics
• database migration tool -> abstracts out changes to the database after schema is updated
• permission checker ------> checks permissions based on graph path traversal
• multi-tenancy module ----> gets the api of correct user and manages apps
• social login ------------> manages third-party auth service integration
• http server -------------> manages request and JWT request authentication
