Re:GraphQL: The Enterprise Honeymoon Is Over on Sunday December 14, 2025 @09:13PM (#46269616)
I don't agree with the author on most of this. GraphQL is far better than REST in almost every way and I disagree that the server side resolvers are somehow difficult to write. In a true enterprise setting, the federation capabilities are fantastic.

There are plenty of things to dislike about GraphQL that he doesn't touch on, like: * lack of input type polymorphism * lack of support for map types * lack of support for recursive data structures (e.g., BlogComments) * terrible fragment syntax
