My take: GraphQL allows (limited) queries from the client. GraphQL unlocks Frontend-acting-as-Product, or Product At the cost of (hopefully) a smartly written decorator, a schema-based boilerplate, or a bunch of resolvers. And surely, I guess some raw performance and enforced abstraction. If you go the whole hog, and make your client leverage the full query granuality, then it also costs some FE complexity .e.g Apollo. But you dont always need that aspect. Is this good for your problem space? Depends. Is it great for some problem spaces, 100%
