- By the community, for the community: GraphQL Server's development is driven by the needs of developers
- Simplicity: by keeping things simple, GraphQL Server is easier to use, easier to contribute to, and more secure
- Performance: GraphQL Server is well-tested and production-ready - no modifications needed
