GraphQL is great for consumers, it's a nightmare for producers.
- alisonatwork 5y agoI think this is solved by creating "full stack" teams where the front end developers who want the GraphQL API are also the same team who define the schema and build the service that serves that API. In large companies where GraphQL makes sense, that GraphQL API service would just call into pre-existing services that serve JSON, Protobuf etc maintained by 100% back end teams.
