Hygraph is a GraphQL-native headless CMS with built-in Content Federation.
Teams model content through a low-code schema builder, then query both
local entries and data from external REST or GraphQL APIs through a single
GraphQL endpoint. Remote sources connect without migrating or duplicating
data, making Hygraph both frontend and backend agnostic.
Key Highlights
- Content Federation unifies remote REST and GraphQL sources
- Low-code schema builder with reusable components
- Granular role-based permissions per model, stage, and locale
Why It Fits Jamstack Workflows
- A single GraphQL Content API delivers local and federated remote content in one query, with CDN caching and a built-in API playground for testing
- Webhooks trigger on content events like publish and unpublish, and scheduled publishing lets editorial teams stage releases without developer intervention
Typical Implementations
- Multi-source e-commerce storefronts
- Marketing websites with localized content
- Travel and listing platforms aggregating external data
- Internal portals and knowledge bases
