GraphQL by itself has a lot of issues, but Hasura is IMO a power tool. It gives you CRUD with a security model and a lot of bells and whistles out of the box, and paired with Apollo client on the front end it's pretty quick to set up and use. I still use random REST endpoints, and I'm not interested in federation, but as a quick way to get an app going it's great.

Same, with a shout out to PostGraphile as well. As an aside, I'm sorry but I roll my eyes every time I encounter data loaders and the N+1 problem it's meant to address but which really is a consequence of insistence on following the resolver execution model. GraphQL is a query language. Just compile it to SQL (or Cypher, or SPARQL, or whatever)...when that's possible.
