People often talk in terms of there being only two layers of a webstack: The client/webapp layer and the server layer. I think what Netflix did (explained http://techblog.netflix.com/2012/07/embracing-differences-in...) is really the way to go.

It would be nice having custom adapter endpoints for your clients and devices that in turn fans out multiple calls on the backend border (if you are using a service based backend architecture), while still having the option of going directly to the service endpoints for third party integrations and what not. Having this adapter layer based on GraphQL would be neat, assuming one could break down GraphQL queries to individual REST based endpoint calls.
