Integrate gRPC services into your GraphQL API declaratively

Enterprises adopting GraphQL Federation often face a key challenge: not all of their backend services expose GraphQL APIs. Many critical services still rely on REST or gRPC. That’s where Grafbase extensions come in and today, we're releasing a powerful new piece of that solution: the gRPC extension. With this extension, you can expose any gRPC + Protocol Buffers service method as a field in your federated GraphQL graph, without needing to rewrite or proxy those services as GraphQL first.
