Summary

GraphQL has evolved into being the enabler for solving organizational problems at enterprise scale, rather than just a "cool" technology. It's no longer about performance or payload efficiency, but about Federation - the ability to implement a Graph(QL) API across multiple teams and services. GraphQL is not about finding the perfect solution to a problem, but about finding a solution that works well enough for a large enough group of people while also being easy to adopt and maintain. The ecosystem has changed over the years, with alternatives like tRPC emerging that make up for a great developer experience without having to deal with the complexity of GraphQL. Companies adopt GraphQL because they want the benefits of Federation - to scale their API development across multiple teams and services, enable collaboration and change management at scale.
