Hey folks, a while back I asked you all if anyone was currently using GraphQL with ColdFusion and a few of you chimed in that you were. I'd like to hear from you again, as well as hear from folks using GraphQL with other technology stacks. What I'd like to know: 1. Why did you select GraphQL as the query portion of the stack? What was compelling and interesting about it? 2. Those that are using it, are all of your new projects using GraphQL, or are you mixing and matching with REST? 3. In terms of GraphQL clients, what are your favorite features of the clients you use? Are you using a query building tool like Postman? As you might surmise, we are strongly looking at adding GraphQL capabilities to CF, though right now this is only in the research area. It is important that we understand not only how to follow the spec for GraphQL, but also to make sure that integrating with ACF (if we choose eventually to do so) ends up fitting in with the easy, fast to develop and DX centric methodology I favor. Just a final note here, this is definitely one of my personal pet projects, I've been the primary driver essentially from the day I was hired, so I really appreciate your input. I strongly believe GraphQL is an incredible tool, and truly hope we can add its capabilities to ACF one day. If you agree, definitely reach out, I'd love to chat.

I'm seeing GraphQL beginning to surface as the preferred integration between services for the front end. Be interesting to see what CF plans o do in this area.
