- erikpukinskis 6y agoGraphQL is not a database it’s just a wire protocol. You need a database behind it and Postgres is quite common. Compare it to JSON:API or GRPC. With Apollo it also solves a lot of frontend caching and state management problems so you can somewhat use it as an alternative to Redux.
