Become a sponsor to Arda TANRIKULU

I build and maintain open-source infrastructure behind modern GraphQL systems — from developer tooling and schema composition to production gateways and high-performance federation routers.

My work spans both the JavaScript/TypeScript and Rust ecosystems, with a focus on performance, interoperability, standards, and developer experience.

Some of the core projects I work on include:

• Hive Gateway] — an open-source GraphQL Federation and proxy gateway for production workloads
• Hive Router — a high-performance GraphQL Federation router built in Rust
• GraphQL Tools — foundational tooling for building, transforming, and stitching GraphQL schemas
• GraphQL Mesh — a GraphQL Federation framework for GraphQL and non-GraphQL services
• GraphQL Yoga — a standards-focused GraphQL server
• GraphQL Code Generator — type-safe code generation for GraphQL
• whatwg-node) — web-standard APIs and infrastructure for Node.js
• feTS — a type-safe TypeScript HTTP framework

A significant part of this work is the engineering that users rarely see: maintaining compatibility across runtimes, improving query execution and planning, reducing resource usage, fixing production edge cases, reviewing contributions, evolving APIs carefully, and keeping widely used infrastructure sustainable over time.

If your company builds on GraphQL, Federation, or the TypeScript ecosystem, there is a good chance that some part of this work sits somewhere in your stack.

Sponsorship gives me more time to keep this infrastructure fast, reliable, interoperable, and actively maintained.

For companies, sponsoring this work is not simply a donation to an individual project. It is an investment in the open-source infrastructure your engineering teams depend on.
