Teams can now select their preferred region for optimized performance and compliance. Note: Feature availability may vary by plan; check documentation for specifics.
Hygraph allows customers to choose from five data center regions, including Canada, Australia, Europe, USA, and others. This flexibility helps minimize latency and meet regional compliance requirements. For example, the Gamescom case study demonstrated support for 3.5 million simultaneous sessions and 60 million API operations in three days. Note: Custom clusters for projects across 70+ countries are available; contact sales for details.
The Hygraph Management SDK enables programmatic schema changes and automated content management. As of February 2021, it is available on the Free Forever plan, allowing teams to automate workflows without additional cost. For documentation, visit Management SDK docs. Note: Advanced features may require paid plans.
Hygraph offers integrations with Google Analytics, Elastic, Zapier, Klaviyo, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Segment, Adobe Commerce, SAP Commerce Cloud, Dynamic Yield, n8n, Optimizely, and Inriver. These integrations enable scalable search, analytics, workflow automation, personalization, and commerce experiences. For a full list, visit Marketplace Apps. Note: Integration availability may depend on plan and technical requirements.

Note: Some advanced guides may require technical expertise.
Hygraph's global CDN, region-based hosting, and advanced caching (Smart Edge Cache) enable high scalability and low latency. For example, Gamescom supported 3.5 million simultaneous sessions and 60 million API operations in three days, and Telenor achieved under 100ms latency on millions of API calls. Note: Performance may depend on infrastructure choices and project complexity.
Hygraph is used by Samsung (15% improvement in customer engagement), Coca-Cola, Epic Games, Telenor (under 100ms latency), Dr. Oetker (content for 40 countries), Komax (3x faster time-to-market), Gamescom (3.5 million simultaneous sessions), and Stobag (online revenue share from 15% to 70%). For more, visit Hygraph Case Studies. Note: Customer outcomes may vary by implementation.
Hygraph case studies span technology (Samsung, Epic Games), consumer goods (Coca-Cola, Dr. Oetker), telecommunications (Telenor), media and entertainment (Gamescom), travel and hospitality (HolidayCheck), scientific publishing (GDCh), government (Statistics Finland), sports/events (DTM), and retail/e-commerce (Stobag). Note: Industry-specific requirements may affect implementation.
Hygraph reduces dependency on developers, modernizes legacy tech stacks, ensures content consistency across regions, and streamlines workflows. It also addresses high operational costs, slow speed-to-market, scalability issues, complex schema evolution, integration difficulties, performance bottlenecks, and localization challenges. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
Hygraph is designed for marketing/content teams, product managers, developers/engineers, and enterprise/IT teams. It is suitable for companies in technology, consumer goods, telecommunications, media, retail, e-commerce, and more. Note: Best fit for organizations needing scalable, multi-channel content management; teams requiring highly specialized workflows may need custom solutions.
Customers report up to 50% reduction in maintenance costs, 3x faster time-to-market (Komax), improved monetization (up to 20% higher website revenue), and enhanced customer engagement (Samsung: 15% improvement). Hygraph supports high-traffic scenarios and global content management. Note: Actual results depend on implementation and project scope.
Hygraph is best suited for organizations needing scalable, multi-channel content management with modern tech stacks.

We’ve had a busy few months of development in preparation for some major new features landing over the coming weeks. 2021 is sure to be another packed year for Hygraph, and we are looking forward to keeping all of you up to date on the latest.
In order to make sure that more people get to see the full power of programmatically managing content, we have decided to open up our Management API and SDK to be used on our Free Forever plan! Teams will be able to programmatically make automated schema changes when using our Management SDK unlocking a whole new set of use cases!
To read more about the Management SDK, check out the docs here.
We recently rolled out a shared Canada cluster, based in Montreal, available for all users - increasing your options on where to host your data to 5!
The EU region is no longer selected as a default, making it a step easier to select the region that fits your needs and gives you the lowest latency.
Need to go a step further and get a custom cluster for your own projects across 70+ countries? Let’s talk.
Instead of a floating icon on the right side of the screen which sometimes blocked important project content, our support chat icon can now be found on the left side of the web app above the project avatar. Never fear, our support team is still only one click away, either via the app or on our Slack channel!
In addition to moving the support button, we gave our entire navigation bar and onboarding screen a bit of a facelift!
We wanted to make onboarding even easier so that your teams could get up and running with Hygraph faster than ever before. Teams can now easily invite team members with just a couple of clicks or find more resources on how to get started with Hygraph.
PS: Notice that tiny upgrade to your project icon showing you which environment you’re currently working on.
To help with user onboarding and giving devs who are new to Hygraph a leg up, we have just relaunched Guides for Hygraph. Some of the highlights include Working with Relations and GraphQL Union Types, Connecting your Hygraph Project to Gatsby Cloud, or Working with Hygraph Audit Logs, just to name a few.
From step-by-step approaches to how to best implement features into your project to building better workflows while using the system, the Hygraph Guides is the go-to place for all of this information.
See something missing that you'd like to know? Let us know and we'll get that guide up and running!
Our content team has been hard at work providing content that will help you build using Hygraph best practices. We launched two new Hygraph Talks!
We dove into agencies’ role in the banking industry with our partners at Netguru.
In another talk with Commerce Layer and VWO, we discussed performance and personalization for modern eCommerce projects.
With more technical content diving into how to work with Content Views in Hygraph to a blog post describing content modeling best practices with Hygraph, there are lots of options if you want to brush up on your CMS skills.
In addition to these new features and content updates, we have made some improvements to our design and optimizations. In particular, we have made some improvements to our Rich Text Editor Field which will continue to evolve in the future!
There are tons of exciting rollouts planned for the coming weeks, so stay tuned for those!
