      REST is not a perscription for how many joins you can do retrieving data. You don't need to force clients to compose http calls. You *can* write a query for `GET /things` without an ORM, schema in SDL, resolver code and client wrappers. It's allowed!

      And I guarantee writing one optimized query against your data store is way faster in both authortime and runtime. Also maintenance! Way less deps..

      Mastery of durable persistence is kinda the final boss for frontend dev. It's still a mess. And eh GraphQL doesn't solve this. It papers over the easiest part (transport) leaving the hardest as an exercise for the backend (fast queries) with waaaay more boilerplate.

      Thing I am *not* saying: "GraphQL is bad". Thing I am saying: maybe there's an opportunity to be explicit without all the ceremony.https://twitter.com/JeffHandley/status/1035077206106464257 …

      4. The GraphQL layer can then specifically optimize queries over the RESTful APIs, minimizing API calls necessary to resolve a query. Yes, it is work to implement each resolved, but the explicitness is so liberating.

      Sure there other ways to be explicit. Are they specified or at the whim of whatever dev built them? How's the tooling? Is there a community? A ceremony can be nice. Repeatable. Documented. But also... I don't see this as the main benefit of graphQL.

      Think by now REST probably has acceptable community, tooling, documentation… but yes it depends!

      REST alone isn't enough. Tell 10 devs to build a REST API. Get back 10 different APIs. One of them might even be a graphQL API :p

      This discussion only reinforces my favorite description of GraphQL: "WSDL with less ceremony"

          so… can I take this as confirmation that CosmosDB is getting GraphQL endpoints that also supports application/yamlpic.twitter.com/YWIeEKHFSs
