Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, February 13, IBM announced today that it has completed its acquisition of StepZen, a company that has developed a GraphQL server with a unique architecture that helps developers build GraphQL API quickly with less code.

IBM said it was its first acquisition in 2023, and since Arvind Krishna became chief executive in April 2020, IBM has acquired 30 companies to strengthen its hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.

A report by Gartner predicts that more than 50 per cent of companies will use GraphQL in production by 2025, up from less than 10 per cent in 2021. While GraphQL API is easy to use for application teams, it can be challenging for the development team responsible for creating them.

It is reported that StepZen, founded in 2020, provides developers with an easier way to build GraphQL API. StepZen uses a declarative programming approach (that is, describing the functionality of the program without explicitly specifying the method), resulting in smaller, more intuitive code, better runtime performance, and faster time to value. StepZen is highly flexible and compatible with other API methods and can be obtained as a service (SaaS) while also supporting private cloud and on-premises data center deployments.

CTOnews.com has learned that the acquisition will be completed on February 6, 2023, and that the StepZen team and technology will be integrated into the IBM software department. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
