Interesting read. I think an orchestration layer can solve a lot of the problems you mention with REST APIs, for example rolling up several API calls and transforming the format/data returned based on the receiving device which is what Netflix do. Even so, I’m interested to see how widely adopted GraphQL will become. A lot of engineers I know who are working on large scale projects don’t think the advantages outweigh the costs of redevelopment. Maybe this perception will change though – who knows!
