Eight Years of GraphQL, and I have yet to find a single use case for it in my projects. I've had to interact with external GraphQL APIs a few times and each time it has been a terribly painful experience. Funnily enough, for the few queries where GraphQL would've actually been useful to get some deeply nested data structure, it was usually impossible to use it because the "query is too big/deep" or it had cycles


Are any of your APIs used by multiple consumers? This was the strongest use case I found personally.
