I Am Glad GraphQL Is Dead, What a Fucking Mistake That Was
GraphQL is dying and I could not be happier. The hype has faded. The conference talks have dried up. The true believers have gone quiet. Teams are quietly migrating back to REST and pretending they never suggested GraphQL in the first place. The fever has broken. Good. It was a fucking mistake. The problem it solved did not exist GraphQL was supposed to solve over-fetching. Your REST API returns too much data, they said. You are wasting bandwidth, they said. The mobile clients only need three fields but you are sending back fifty.
