Adron's success in misadventures of thrashing coding and calamity!
I’ve been building GraphQL APIs for a number of years now – of along side RESTful, gRPC, XML, and other API styles I won’t even bring up right now – and so far GraphQL APIs have been great to work with. The libraries in different languages form .NET’s Hot Chocolate, Go’s graphql-go, Apollo’s JavaScript based tooling and servers, to Java’s GraphQL for Spring have worked great.
Sometimes you’re in the fortunate situation where you’re using PostgreSQL or SQL Server, or other supported database for a tool like Hasura. Being able to get a full GraphQL (with REST options too) API running in seconds is pretty impressive. From a development perspective it is a massive boost. As Hasura adds more database connectors as they have with Snowflake and Amazon Athena, the server and tooling becomes even more powerful.
