# GraphQL Pro
2021-03-08 15:08:54 +00:00
GraphQL has become a key technology in GitLab and is implemented using the
2021-02-09 15:09:39 +00:00
[GraphQL Ruby gem ](https://graphql-ruby.org ). As such, we've purchased a subscription to
[GraphQL Pro ](https://graphql.pro ).
The main purpose is for support. Per the website:
> As a GraphQL::Pro customer, you get direct access to the GraphQL Ruby gem
> creator and maintainer. Get prioritized support for issues and requests.

Note that we **cannot** use the Pro version directly in our product, since we are
2021-02-09 15:09:39 +00:00
an Open Core product - we can not require customers to purchase the Pro version, nor can we ship it.
Details on the billing account and gem licensing can be found in the Engineering 1Password vault.
