GraphQL always felt to me like it solved the easy part of the problem and offered nothing to solve the hard part. I have a similar response to things like Zanzibar. At the end of the day I want to go and get some stuff out of a database, and that complexity just ends up dominating everything.
- ozim 2y agoThat is for me gut feeling about AI .. but that is not discussion about that topic. So in general had the same feeling about graphQL because I still had to write layer of code that gets stuff from database, get it limited or paginated. Maybe once you have enough endpoints then you can change your front end against already existing GraphQL - but for me that was never the case as 90% of work is adding new tables, new endpoints so graphQL feels like additional work with additional footguns for almost no benefits.
