- pcstl 5y agoGuess it depends on use case. When it's not very clear what your client wants to consume and your product is evolving rapidly, HTTP APIs tend to turn into a mess and lead to a gigantic amount of requests just to start the app (which, to be fair, is less of a problem now with HTTP/3). GraphQL has allowed my company to keep our network traffic very lean while evolving a product very quickly and to have very few issues in communicating between our mobile application and backend teams. But once again, I can see how our requirements are not everyone else's.
