It's like they are designed for completely different use cases.
Graphql is designed to be flexible for when you want to expose your data to many clients who may be other teams and need different models of the data.
Obviously, if you just need a simple consistent API, there's no need for all the extra complexity.
- ahuth 2y agoGood point. My thinking here was kind of half-baked. Thinking through it some more: - Maybe it's more that I've seen teams reach for GraphQL when another option would've been simpler. - You can get many of GraphQL's benefits with other, simpler solutions. - But when you do need GraphQL, of course go for that.
