Fully Open-Source schema registry, analytics and gateway for GraphQL federation and other GraphQL APIs

Founded by: Uri Goldshtein

You can use Hive to manage your GraphQL APIs through a complete schema registry, analytics dashboard, and federation gateway. You can track schema changes across environments, identify breaking changes before production, compose multiple subgraphs, monitor GraphQL request performance, and deploy your schemas with version control. The platform supports Apollo Federation and includes security features like RBAC, JWT tokens, and persisted operations. You can self-host it or use their managed service.
