Hi,

Thank you for that good project.

We are working on multiple graphql backs and I was looking for a solution too use with our React/Relay front. I have tried Cosmo which is working nice for now but I have some difficulties to understand the true difference between Cosmo and BFF Framework. Cosmo make the job but I could be interested in getting REST and databases ressources.

I search all the website and the only "clear" information I found is on the blog https://wundergraph.com/blog/graphql-is-finally-boring#wundergraph-gateway which didn't really help me because I understand "if you need that project, use that project... ok..." :).

I'm not sure but perhaps BFF is more "open" to federate others sources like REST, databases... I thought Cosmo could do that before but I didn't find information in documentation (only graphql I think).

I found that tutorial https://cosmo-docs.wundergraph.com/tutorial/composing-graphs which make me think that BFF was perhaps used by cosmo (because in cosmo doc) but nothing on how to use it with the router.... Perhaps do we have to convert it in GO with custom modules...

Thank you for all and sorry if I miss something somewhere...
