Hygraph, formerly known as GraphCMS, is a cloud-based content management system designed to unify the content layer.

The demand for connected digital services continues to grow, driven by the increasing need for businesses to deliver content across various devices and platforms, including mobile and IoT. As the first GraphQL-native Headless CMS, Hygraph eliminates traditional content management pain points by harnessing the power of GraphQL. By simplifying content management at scale, Hygraph frees your team from complex setups and reduces over-dependency on developers.
