I basically disagree with all of these. Graphql isn't that complex, not more complex than the widely accepted SQL schema + query. Tooling is top-notch (Graphql-codegen, Apollo, Postman, Graphql playground), and is quite easy to use. Junior devs become up-to-speed with GraphQL a lot faster in my experience, because there is a lot more homogeneity in GraphQL while everyone implements their own flavor of REST

You're often dealing with multiple data sources, no transaction syntax and weaker tools for EXPLAIN and optimizations. Seems way more complex than SQL.

  GraphQL mostly replaces REST use cases, not SQL. You don't have EXPLAIN or transaction syntax etc in REST. I don't see how your comment is relevant.

    Its a direct response to "Graphql isn't that complex, not more complex than the widely accepted SQL schema + query."
