Show HN: Prototype – build GraphQL backends without code
We're Rishabh, Aashish, and Noah, the creators of ProtoType: a platform for building GraphQL backends. You can check it out here:

We were fed up with creating the same sort of APIs over and over again when building web applications so we built this tool for ourselves. As we're all in university, we showed it around to our friends and they enjoyed using it to kickstart their projects. After that, we thought we'd host it on a website and allow anybody to use it!
ProtoType is different from similar GraphQL backend builders such as 8base in that it focuses on data modeling. All you need to do is model your data then hit deploy (no dealing with relational tables). Once you hit deploy, ProtoType will automatically generate and deploy a GraphQL server that supports your data models.
On the roadmap is migrations, tutorials, roles/permissions, live server logs, and data metrics (how much your models are created, read, updated, and deleted).
Looking forward to all of your feedback!
