I think there are a few GraphQL enthusiasts entering this thread right now, which has its own merits, but can live perfectly next to REST.

In my company we use graphql for getting, and REST for all other operations.

Might be an antipattern, but has served us well.

We're also using a special flavor of graphql that returns the data as flat dictionaries instead of deeply nested dictionaries. Whether you need that or not of course depends on the client design.
