I think I shipped my first production GraphQL server around this time 8 years ago, but by all accounts it was in use at Facebook a couple of years before it was opened up. So overall ~10 years old sounds right, though the released spec is a little different to the internal version that predates it.
By that standard MyCorpInnerPlatform is very mature.
