Hello! I'm @Benjie, the maintainer of the Graphile suite of tools - projects in the Node.js, PostgreSQL and GraphQL ecosystems focussing on enabling developers to more-rapidly develop high-performance, stable software. I also contribute to the GraphQL Specification Working Group, GraphQL over HTTP Working Group, and help to maintain GraphiQL.
Your sponsorship will enable me to spend more time on these projects, resulting in faster fixes, faster PR merges, and of course easier to use, better documented, more flexible, more powerful and more performant software!
Here are some of the projects I maintain:
- PostGraphile β high-performance best-practices instant extensible GraphQL API for PostgreSQL
- Graphile Worker β high-performance job queue for PostgreSQL
- Graphile Starter β opinionated quick-start project for full-stack application (e.g. SaaS) development in TypeScript, React, Node, GraphQL and PostgreSQL; intended for professionals
- Graphile Migrate β opinionated SQL-native migration system for PostgreSQL focussing on iteration speed
- Graphile Engine β datasource-agnostic high-performance GraphQL engine for Node.js with plugins and lookahead functionality (the core of PostGraphile)
- pg-sql2 β a powerful SQL-injection-proof query builder with full PostgreSQL support
- gatsby-source-pg β the easiest way to pull PostgreSQL data into your Gatsby GraphQL API
- mehserve β simple port-sharing proxy: easy URLs for development servers running on different ports; websockets & SSL supported
I also contribute to many other open source projects.
A lot of work goes into maintaining an Open Source project β not just the software development, but responding to the issues and chat messages, reviewing pull requests and giving guidance, writing high quality documentation, testing, publishing releases, improving developer experience, and much more. Your financial support enables me to take time off from client work to stay on top of these tasks and keep moving these projects and their communities forward.
Thanks for helping me spend more time making and improving open source software!
