hmem vs grafbase

hmem: hmem is a memory system for AI agents that persists project context across sessions, devices, and AI providers. It uses a 5-level lazy loading architecture to minimize token usage while retaining full details. It supports auto-logging, background checkpoints, and cross-platform sync.; grafbase: Grafbase is a self-hosted, Rust-powered GraphQL Federation Gateway for high-scale, mission-critical applications. It unifies diverse data sources and microservices into a single, performant GraphQL API, offering enterprise-grade security and flexible deployment options.
