GraphQL maturity model: A practical guide for your GraphQL adoption journey

The GraphQL maturity model outlines the stages of a GraphQL adoption journey. It begins with stage 1, where a single subgraph is built, and progresses to stage 5, which involves building a graph of graphs (supergraph) via GraphQL federation. This model helps developers anticipate challenges in later stages and fine-tune their current efforts based on others' experiences. The key focus areas change from a single team's concern to potentially affecting the entire engineering organization as the maturity level increases. The model also highlights the growing complexity of the federated GraphQL API, with sample queries demonstrating the art of possible enabled by the API at each stage.
