 After over a year of being open sourced we're bringing GraphQL out of "technical preview" and relaunching [graphql.org](http://graphql.org/).
 
-For us at Facebook, GraphQL isn't a new technology. GraphQL has been delivering data to our most important mobile app, News Feed, since 2012. Since then it's expanded to support the majority of the Facebook product and evolved in the process.

 Early last year when we first [spoke publicly about GraphQL](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sc8Pyc51uU) we received overwhelming demand to share more about this technology. That sparked an internal project to revisit GraphQL, make improvements, draft a specification, produce a reference implementation you could use to try it out, and build new versions of some of our favorite tools, like [GraphiQL](https://github.com/graphql/graphiql). We moved quickly, and released parts that were ready along the way.
 
-Part of Facebook's open source philosophy is that we only open source what we use in production. While it's true that we had been using GraphQL within Facebook for years, we knew that these newly released pieces had yet to be proven. We expected feedback. So we carefully released GraphQL as a "technical preview".

 Exactly one year ago, we published graphql.org, with a [formal announcement](/blog/graphql-a-query-language/) that GraphQL was open source and ready to be "technically previewed". Since then we've seen GraphQL implemented [in many languages](/code/), and successfully adopted by other companies. That includes today's exciting announcement of the Github GraphQL API, the first major public API to use GraphQL.
