People need to stop judging the viability of something based on how satisfying it feels to use it in a toy project. When time is money, you'll see what really works.
At least GraphQL supposedly works for Facebook, and I tried it out before deciding it wasn't a default. I never even bothered with MongoDB. I've had to repeatedly veto using both in projects, cause someone thought it'd be cool and thought that was a good enough reason. Finally it's not cool anymore, but there will be another thing.

- hot_gril 2y agoMaybe. Can that one army fix GraphQL for all the teams in the company? Cause I've seen things work that way, but I've also seen tools that are pitched as "maintained in one place for everyone" but are actually a complexity burden on every single team, especially if/when its usage changes.
