We used to get a bit of pushback because it was unfamiliar; then we parked ’em in front of GraphiQL and that solved most of the problems. Now way more of Walmart is on the GraphQL bandwagon, including federation.

Interesting, thanks @gklijs and @hlship!

No problem, I tend to see a difference between backend use and frontend use. Where frontend easier/faster to adopt GraphQL than backend. Probably helped because there are a lot of ‘serverless’ GraphQL solutions, but not that many GraphQL backend clients. But it seems more and more ‘acceptable’ for server to server as well.

That’s a great point, thanks for insight

Ah, interesting. I've noticed some resistance too (main use case is server to server), just not sure if it is a vocal minority, or what.
