Of course GraphQL is not intended to replace REST as is and have to
live in parallel
Effectively a standard initial architecture is to have GraphQL sitting
aside (in parallel) and wrapping REST and along the way develop GrapgQL
Schema.
It's seems too early to tell but GraphQL being the next step in API
evolution it might ultimately replace REST.
but it would likely and highly accelerate all requests within heavily
loaded environments
+1
.
So +1 for this question.

Hi,
Remember Boston's Summit presentation [1] about GraphQL [2] and
how it
addresses REST limitations.
I wonder if any project has been thinking about using GraphQL. I
haven't
find any mention or pointers about it.
GraphQL takes a complete different approach compared to REST. So
we can
finally forget about REST API Description languages
(OpenAPI/Swagger/WSDL/WADL/JSON-API/ETC) and HATEOS (the hypermedia
approach which doesn't describe how to use it).
So, once passed the point where 'REST vs GraphQL' is like
comparing SQL
and no-SQL DBMS and therefore have different applications, there
are no
doubt the complexity of most OpenStack projects are good
candidates for
GraphQL.
Besides topics such as efficiency, decoupling, no version management
need there many other powerful features such as API Schema out of the
box and better automation down that track.
It looks like the dream of a conduit between API services and
consumers
might have finally come true so we could move-on an worry about other
things.
So has anyone already starting looking into it?
