About
StepZen developed a GraphQL API server with a unique architecture that lets developers compose GraphQL APIs from REST, GraphQL, SQL, and NoSQL data sources without writing resolver code, deploying in seconds. Its technology helped enterprises unify multiple backends, including databases like Neo4j, into a single GraphQL layer accessible to any programming language. IBM acquired StepZen in 2023 to fold its API-composition technology into IBM's API Connect and broader data-and-AI product line, and the team continues to operate as 'StepZen, an IBM Company.'
