GraphQL is something that's relatively simple (and brilliant) but is one of those things that you just need to try properly first for it to click, especially if you have a background of implementing tons of REST based services.

The GraphQL related tools are top notch and implementing GraphQL server isn't any harder than a REST based server would be (one could even argue that it would be simpler). Even if you don't want to implement everything from scratch, tools like Postgraph[0] exists that pretty much automate it for you.

I made a simple tutorial[1] on wrapping an existing API with GraphQL here which goes through basics of settings up too.

Thank you, I will be checking on Postgraph and your tutorial, I'm really interested in adding GraphQL to my development stack.
