Anyone move from GraphQL back to rest?

I’m not even at “rest” let alone “graphql” ... more like create a motley bunch of endpoints via http!

I see the drive to GraphQL from REST for some SAAS and think its a mistake.

I find REST is much easier to use - I read the docs and look at one or two examples then I can get started

GraphQL is a different story - Im hunting round the documentation to figure out the syntax and rules.

I much prefer REST

I can see no reason to go back unless you did it badly - maybe you'd support both if you exposed apis to end users - REST is easier to grok initially.

I haven’t left GraphQL myself, but after seeing what’s necessary to expose GraphQL for consumption, it’s very clearly an attractive waste of time.

After having worked on a codebase with it, I would prefer RESTful endpoints backed by RDBMS or document stores instead.

We're using gRPC.
