Best experience I had with GraphQL was a B2B app where we had a fair amount of users, as well as the "backoffice" app also powered by GraphQL. Bad users we could just ban (the user base were great folks but could barely operate a computer, so it was fine).

Backend was with Absinthe+Elixir, so it was great (if I had to do it again today I would instead use Liveview, this was in 2017 where I had to retrofit a React app into something useable).

Public user facing is a different story, the last major one I saw was Tableau, though they are also business facing where they can just ban bad users. Github also has deprecated their GraphQL endpoints[0].

Re: GitHub, that deprecation notice appears to be for GitHub Packages specifically. I don't see a deprecation notice on the general API: https://docs.github.com/en/graphql

To be fair, it sounds like that would just make the DX wonderful no matter which stack you were using?
