Ahah tartiflette, c'est vraiment un nom français 😂 thanks for this Stan, it seems really cool!

I don't have extensive experience with Graphene but can you elaborate on which limits you encountered with it?

Do you plan adding a client library too? gql is not really great :D

Hello @rhymes

The limit we reached were:

The criteria for our custom engine:

The developer experience was not really great, a lot of boilerplate code are need to create a schema
the wide compatibility (python 2.7 and python 3) limited us using advanced feature of asyncio. (low performance of the Promise implementation)
