At a glance it does sound like a very small potential market which makes me curious as to why YC would fund them. Perhaps there's a belief that the market will grow as these tools lower the barriers to entry (facilitated by GraphQL) for building applications?

Thanks for the prompt reply! I'm currently refactoring our GraphQL API and if you guys had this feature I would've gone off our infrastructure and used Scaphold. Will definitely keep an eye out for when you guys add this.

Congratulations on the new website and launch!

The new custom logic feature is looking great but what if I want to implement a custom query or mutation that isn't necessarily tied to a `Node`?

For example, what if I wanted to add a query that ran a ranking algorithm and returned a feed?

With regards to reducing the number of database fetches, DataLoader [1] (also by Facebook) is a great tool used by a lot of GraphQL severs to solve this issue.
