Why Don't You Hear Much About GraphQL These Days?

You might have noticed that you don’t hear about GraphQL as much as you used to. Some people might have you believe that developers have lost interest in this technology, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. This blog post will explore why GraphQL isn’t as talked about as it used to be and why it’s still a relevant and valuable technology for developers. Maturity and stability GraphQL has come a long way since its introduction a few years ago. As more and more companies adopt GraphQL, the technology has become more mature and stable. The growing number of real-world applications built with GraphQL has resulted in fewer bugs and compatibility issues, making GraphQL a reliable and predictable technology for developers. With its growing popularity, GraphQL has become a well-established technology widely accepted and used in the industry, reducing the need for developers to talk about and evangelize GraphQL.

Here's why I stopped believing in the future of GraphQL

If you had asked me for my opinion on GraphQL in 2019, I would have told you it was the future of working with data. Like many developers, I got caught up in the hype and believed that GraphQL would kill REST and other forms of data endpoint representation. Fast-forwarding to 2022, my opinion has changed on GraphQL. REST is still very much alive and the preferred approach for API design.

Unlike traditional RESTful API’s, GraphQL uses an expressive query language to allow you to query your server for the pieces of data that you need, leaving the implementation details on the server in resolver functions.
