Features & Specs

  1. Breaking change alerts

    Detects breaking changes in your OpenAPI specs and alerts only the teams that call the changed endpoints.

  2. Alert channels

    Slack, Microsoft Teams and email. Each team picks its own channel.

  3. Impact score

    Every pull request gets an explainable 0–100 score, plus the list of affected teams and what breaks for each one.

  4. Service graph

    A map of who owns and who consumes every endpoint. Orphan endpoints are flagged.

  5. Endpoint subscriptions

    Consumer teams subscribe to the endpoints they call. Producers don't maintain a consumer list.

  6. CI/CD integration

    One step in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps or Jenkins checks every pull request.

  7. Spec URL monitoring

    Watches a published OpenAPI spec URL and checks it every 30 minutes.

  8. Change history

    Append-only record of API changes, subscriptions and ownership changes for incident reviews.

  9. Security

    Reads your OpenAPI spec, not your code. Nothing runs in production. SSO with Entra ID on Pro.

Questions & Answers

As answered by people managing Graphwake.
  1. Which are the primary technologies used for building Graphwake?

    • Backend: .NET 10 API and workers
    • Database: PostgreSQL with row-level security per tenant
    • Frontend: Next.js and React
    • Breaking change detection: oasdiff
    • CI agent: Go, for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket Pipelines and Jenkins
    • Hosting: Docker
  2. What makes Graphwake unique?

    Most API tools stop at the diff: they tell you what changed. Graphwake also knows who calls each endpoint.

    • Team-level dependency map: who owns and who consumes every endpoint
    • Routed alerts: only the consumer teams that call a changed endpoint are alerted, in Slack, Microsoft Teams or email. Every other team stays quiet.
    • Impact score: every pull request gets an explainable 0–100 score and the list of teams it affects
    • Append-only history of changes, subscriptions and ownership, for incident reviews
  3. Why should a person choose Graphwake over its competitors?

    • Diff tools (oasdiff, Optic) show what changed and reach the pull request author. Graphwake reaches the consumer teams it breaks.
    • Docs and changelog tools (Bump.sh) broadcast to everyone. Graphwake sends each alert only to the teams that call the changed endpoint.
    • Contract testing (Pact, Specmatic) needs test code from every consumer. Graphwake works from the OpenAPI specs you already have.

    Setup is one CI step or a spec URL. Producers don't maintain a consumer list. Graphwake reads your spec, not your code, and nothing runs in production.

  4. How would you describe the primary audience of Graphwake?

    Engineering organisations with 20+ developers, several teams that depend on each other's APIs, and OpenAPI specs.

    • Buyers: engineering leads, CTOs, VPs of Engineering and platform teams who want fewer incidents caused by cross-team API changes
    • Consumer-team developers: want to hear about a breaking change before it reaches production
    • Producer-team developers: want to ship changes knowing exactly who they will affect
  5. What's the story behind Graphwake?

    I built Graphwake after another team changed an API my app depended on without telling us, and we found out in production.

    The change itself was fine. The problem was that the news never reached the people it would break:

    • Producer teams can't keep an accurate list of who calls each endpoint
    • Company-wide announcement channels are too noisy for anyone to read

    Graphwake fixes that. Every endpoint knows its consumers, and "every alert has an address"
