Big news from our friends at Graphcool, now Prisma.

Today, we have some very exciting news to share: We’ve raised a $4.5 million seed round led by Kleiner Perkins and are rebranding to Prisma (from Graphcool). In this post we’d like to share our thoughts on Prisma today and our plans for the future.

If you haven’t yet, check out The Changelog #297: Prisma and the GraphQL data layer.

Johannes Schickling, co-founder and CEO of Prisma, joined the show to catch us up on all things GraphQL — the tech, the possibilities, the community, how Prisma turns your database into a GraphQL API, their new business direction, Prisma Cloud, open source vs enterprise, and the upcoming GraphQL Europe in Berlin on June 15th.
