Tailcall

  Tailcall is a high-performance GraphQL API gateway and runtime that lets
  developers compose multiple upstream REST, gRPC, and GraphQL APIs into a
  unified GraphQL schema. Built in Rust, it offers declarative configuration
  via .graphql files with directives for HTTP, caching, batching, and security
  controls. The open-source runtime (Apache 2.0) supports deployment on AWS
  Lambda, Cloudflare Workers, Docker, and bare metal. Tailcall Inc has
  subsequently shipped ForgeCode, a CLI coding harness built on the same
  performance-first ethos.
