Open Stack

Hi,

Remember Boston's Summit presentation [1] about GraphQL [2] and how it 
addresses REST limitations.
I wonder if any project has been thinking about using GraphQL. I haven't 
find any mention or pointers about it.

GraphQL takes a complete different approach compared to REST. So we can 
finally forget about REST API Description languages 
(OpenAPI/Swagger/WSDL/WADL/JSON-API/ETC) and HATEOS (the hypermedia 
approach which doesn't describe how to use it).

So, once passed the point where 'REST vs GraphQL' is like comparing SQL 
and no-SQL DBMS and therefore have different applications, there are no 
doubt the complexity of most OpenStack projects are good candidates for 
GraphQL.

Besides topics such as efficiency, decoupling, no version management 
need there many other powerful features such as API Schema out of the 
box and better automation down that track.

It looks like the dream of a conduit between API services and consumers 
might have finally come true so we could move-on an worry about other 
things.

So has anyone already starting looking into it?
