GraphQL is basically the new Mongo, so of course someone will try doing it in Postgres.


Heh i kind of agree here. Reasonable docs , easy to bootstrap and completely unaware of the underlying performance probs you are about to create bc it “just works”. Curious to your reasons though ?


It’s seemingly a complete nightmare from a security and architecture perspective. And front end devs and bootcamps love it.

I’ve never used it so my opinion isn’t fully baked, but every time I look at the docs I’m just like wtf.


Apparently the facebook team (and others in production I'm guessing) addresses some of this by only having a whitelisted set of queries in production. So you get the GraphQL flexibility during development, but a effectively a static set of APIs in production.


but GraphQL isn't a storage engine. or are you saying that in a few years we'll realize we've been using to solve a whole lot of things that really didnt need solving?
