I've been playing around with GraphQL and Relay recently. Initially I was using PostgreSQL, but I was using an ORM which made implementing pagination annoying. Previously I had played around with RethinkDB, so I decided to give it a shot with GraphQL. It actually works out really nicely, you can do an almost 1:1 copy of the cursor helpers available in graphql-relay-js using ReQL. I think the biggest pain-point for me has been having to dig in through all the source code, since there's not much documentation and examples available. Although, there's a ton of inline comments and type definition which has made it palatable. As a related aside, I was researching what people had done and found a discussion surrounding GraphQL and ArangoDB [0], which may be of interest to other readers.
