Today, APIs don't keep working for a month because someone thought replacing careful design with a bad emulation of SQL is the new hotness. They call it GraphQL.
Can you name an API that was deprecated in favor of GraphQL? (Considering that article is about maintaining backward compatibility while continuing to innovate)
All the docs for graphql (and Apollo) recommend always making backwards compatible changes.
If anything, graphql apis would be easier to maintain in the long run, since clients asks for what they want. New clients could ask for the new data, without breaking the responses for old clients.
