Thank you. I'd like to hear how that goes.

The thinking behind GraphQL was to allow for advanced filtering, supporting all the attributes we store without a lot of extra API work. The GraphiQL web interface makes it quite nice to explore the data and is bundled in and accessible at /graphql . GraphQL also has "subscriptions" which allows for pushing data from the server. The Apollo JS library I used also provides built-in extras like caching.
