Graphcool is a newly established GraphQL backend for mobile and web developers that lives on the AWS cloud:
With Graphcool you don't have to write any code in order to set up your GraphQL infrastructure;everything is performed visually through the Console, a web based point and click designer which generates the underlying code conforming to your design and specifications. Of course, that does not rule out text based editing, quite the contrary.
