Is GraphQL Still Relevant in an HTTP2 World?
Can someone please explain what GraphQL actually is? I&#x27;ve looked at it multiple times but never got super deep... my limited understanding is that all it is is basically defining a schema so that when issuing API requests, the client itself can make it&#x27;s own &quot;query request&quot;, rather than talking to an app backend which has SQL queries programmed&#x2F;written in an ORM or some database wrapper.<p>I feel like I&#x27;m missing something, as that seems incredibly limited, especially with things like performance (where queries need to be tuned and refined and custom written. Just a simple SELECT * FROM X INNER JOIN Y and horrible N+1 isn&#x27;t good enough)<p>Can someone please explain what is GraphQL once and for all?
