I agree. I wrote a simple app that pulls data from a PostGres database and denormalizes it to ElasticSearch, and then the frontend code calls ElasticSearch. And the frontend developers can tweak the config file however they like to create whatever data structure they want in ElasticSearch. And this seems a lot simpler than anything offered by GraphQL. I wrote a bit about it here:

- lkrubner 7y agoNo, the app I wrote is an alternative to GraphQL.
