Exactly. That's why we needed a new tool that does exactly the same thing, but allows us to say we're doing something different. </s> I have always had the impression that graphql was built for a problem Facebook has, but that most of the rest of us don't (numerous complex backend (some non-SQL) data sources and highly independent frontend teams moving very quickly). As I work in an environment where there are no frontend vs backend developers, and we have a single SQL database, graphql is a neat tool which solves some problems I will probably never have.
