Prisma provides a really solid approach for a GraphQL project. https://www.prisma.io/features/graphql-api/ . Graphile(https://www.graphile.org/) is another really nice library for a more advanced approach. IMO the big pay-off of a GraphQL service is the clarity of how the frontend describes data dependencies. To capture that full benefit, you've gotta go with Relay. Facebook designed Relay and GraphQL in tandem to work nicely together. Apollo and Redux are mediocre, but people argue they have a "more approachable learning curve".
