Great read, but you forgot to talk about the server side caching issue. In a big company using REST APIs, those apis are cached at a the http transport level through Varnish (for example). With only one varnish you can handle 50k queries per second. With graphql server you can’t handle transport caching, to scale you need to horizontally scale your node instances (for example) and by doing so it’s a totally new architecture integration.
