      I don't really like GraphQL

      It’s come up in a number of client conversations recently, and on the surface it looks pretty appealing. What’s your beef with it?

      Don't get me wrong, it's not all bad. I didn't say it was terrible. My problem with it stems from the ability to pull/query data from multiple sources via a single endpoint. For that to scale well it has to be designed well. Most of the time it isn't.

      Not sure I totally understand. When you say designed to scale do you mean the schema or the underlying resolvers? Do you have examples? This is a major use case for a lot of teams. Rolling up different backends was a big early win at Bustle.

      Thanks :) but I also legitimately want to understand where others are failing

          The failure generally comes from seeing GraphQL as a magic bullet to stop front end people from annoying back end people by giving them a way of accessing data without having to create an endpoint over and over. I get it. But 1/x

          Replying to @PaulDJohnston @southpolesteve @jtopper

          What generally happens is that either the front end devs overstep their bounds and do complex things and cause issues or the back end devs don't foresee something that seems obvious to the front end and end up with load/bottleneck issues. 2/x

          If the team is well managed and aligned then all good. If not then... You're storing up issues down the line. Technical debt in some form. It can be avoided but it is a problem.

          Good point. I'm applying it here though. And no tech team ever thinks it applies to them btw

          and? serverless brings new benefits but also new challenges. There are some good resources out there about emerging best practices. Sticking to those will help you deal with challenges and derisk adoption.

          "emerging best practices" on the day I write a "serverless best practices" blog post... 🤣
