We use GraphQL at my current company, but it's a service that sits between the backend and the frontend and just munges together several different API requests from one. It's... I really hate it. The way we're using it, it simply adds a layer of opacity that makes debugging a client-server issue a giant PITA. I've worked at a few companies that used GraphQL poorly. I've yet to see it done in a way that makes me think it's the right tool for the job. And I understand the benefit of allowing the client to choose what they want to get back.
