I built a SaaS that snapshot monitored GraphQL APIs, before anyone really used GraphQL in production.
Ideally, you'd craft a maximal query that used as many nodes as possible, and it'd check every hour or so that the snapshot hadn't changed (I worked for a small company that couldn't keep their API stable, so I built a tool to alert me as a frontend dev)
It turned out we were the only shop in Sydney with that problem (I actually went in to real startups and asked how they were testing their GraphQL servers), so I ended up shutting the project down after only having one customer for a year.
A few years later, I rewrote it from scratch and made it a website/API/scheduled task monitoring service (https://onlineornot.com https://onlineornot.com), and it might just employ me one day.
