I'm sorry I don't understand.

Graphs are not a thing for running webapps/services. They are a subset of CS/maths aimed to solve specifics problems that can be expressed as graphs.

If you don't have a graph problem to solve, you don't need a graph database.

GraphQL is a bit of a misnomer, it's not actually for querying mathematical graphs. It's so named because it was originally for https://graph.facebook.com
