The reviews

IBM acquisition slowed development. The auto-generation from REST to GraphQL was interesting but the market moved on.

Helpful?

GraphQL-as-a-service is a solution looking for a larger market. Most teams that want GraphQL can build it.

Helpful?

API composition will be important but AI-powered approaches may replace declarative GraphQL generation.
