StepZen

StepZen is an architecturally distinct GraphQL server. It allows developers to build APIs quickly and with less code. Put simply, it is about publishing, securing and monitoring APIs.

The natural audience is platform and developer teams. They also list Data Integration, Database and Developer APIs, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small product team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

StepZen is based in Santa Clara, California. Their site is stepzen.com.
