Re:How and why GraphQL will influence the Sourcehut alpha

Server-to-server GraphQL seems much more reasonable as both sides are controlled. It's the client-to-server I have less of a justification for compared to targeted calls w/ individual, limited contracts that are quantifiable and optimizable. I have witnessed the costs of allowing highly flexible data fetching from the client once it grows large.

GraphQL has been around for years and people keep making this argument, but where are all the horror stories of unbounded queries being made and systems being hobbled? The argument is beginning to sound anemic.
