I abstain from writing graphql apis now because they’re too much work for me when toy apps are simple and I can render json.

But if a team does want graphql without the fuss of openapi, json schemas, and swagger docs, I recommend tools like Hasura that autogenerates graphql apis over my db. Auto generation of graphql resolvers are the way to go for productivity. Supabase even created a Postgres extension to perform graphql directly within postgres https://supabase.com/blog/2021/12/03/pg-graphql
