How we built a no-code GraphQL schema builder

Tyk's development of a no-code GraphQL schema builder, as described by Technical Director Jens and Product Owner Agata, represents a significant innovation in making API integration more accessible. Initially conceived by Jens to streamline data access across disparate systems, the project evolved from a code-heavy solution to a user-friendly interface, thanks to Tyk's focus on user experience. This transition allowed non-technical users to configure GraphQL APIs easily, addressing complex integration challenges without extensive coding. Despite encountering initial hurdles, including finding interested customers, the tool has garnered attention for its unique approach to simplifying data integration, saving time and resources by offering reusable connectors for common APIs like Stripe. Tyk's solution stands out in a competitive GraphQL space by providing a straightforward, lightweight tool that integrates seamlessly with existing systems, reflecting a blend of innovation and practicality that continues to evolve with ongoing user feedback and market demands.
