Comment on Ask HN: Would anyone recommend GraphQL over REST for teams just starting up?

Comments

I would be inclined not to. IMO GraphQL is great when you have a frontend team that wants to make changes without requiring a new backend build. If your team isn't structured that way (i.e. you have full stack devs and/or very frequent, low overhead backend releases), or the nature of the changes is that they frequently don't require backend changes anyway, then I would just stick with REST.
