100% agree. People also need to remember that GraphQL was originally written for server side javascript, and now it’s being ported to other languages(for what reason???).

You can create your own global json schema and build a ratchet version of GraphQL using proven orms in about 20 minutes using an unpersisted “filtering” field.

If you want automatic access to your data, bite the bullet and do something cool like implement Apache Dremio.

GraphQL was released as an specification with a node example implementation. It wasn't "written for server side javascript".

Ok, so it was software released with it’s first implementation written in node.

And now have “Apollo”, which is a server that runs inside a v8 engine(node).

It seems to me that the javascript crowd are the ones pushing this forward and seems to me that it was written with javascript as a first class citizen.

Hard pass
