HYGRAPH

Hygraph goes beyond being just a headless, API-first CMS. It offers powerful features that make it a top choice for modern digital teams:

• Content federation: Easily unify content from multiple sources—including other CMSs, databases, and APIs—into one central platform. With Hygraph, you can break down data silos and manage content more effectively across your digital ecosystem.
• Real-time collaboration: Empower your team to work together seamlessly. Hygraph supports real-time editing, allowing multiple users to collaborate on content creation simultaneously—ideal for distributed teams and fast-paced workflows.
• Global CDN: Hygraph uses a global CDN to deliver your content to your users with low latency. This is important for ensuring that your content is always available and performant.

Our perspective on Hygraph

At Alpha Solutions we love Hygraph's power, simplicity, and elegance.

Content Modelling

It's easy and very flexible to build your content models in Hygraph.

You can build any relational structure you like. With Hygraph you can build "Many-to-Many" relationships, and also make the data 'queryable' from "both sides" of that relationship. For example, connect Authors and Articles so that each Author can contribute to multiple Articles and vice versa—all accessible via a single GraphQL query.

Content Aggregation and Federation

Hygraph should more be understood as a content federation platform. Not "only" as a headless CMS.

While modeling your schema, you can integrate external sources directly. To content editors and frontends, all content appears to come from a unified source—Hygraph—simplifying the user experience. External sources can also maintain their own caching layers, ensuring performance isn’t compromised.

It's neat! Really neat!

Need help navigating the CMS landscape?

At Alpha Solutions we can help you evaluate, perform evaluations and POC's so you make your investment on a solid foundation.

In a market of hundreds of CMS's and DXPs - it's hard to navigate. Nobody can look into the future, but it's also about choosing a vendor that you expect to exist in the years to come. Not all of the hundreds of headless CMS's will do that.
