It seems to be a fair way to do it. I do second the Neutron API as a good
candidate.

I’ll be happy to give a hand.

@jay I’ve already sum my points upper, but I could definitely have better
exemples if needed.

I’m operating and dealing with a large (really) Openstack platform and
GraphQL would have tremendous performances impacts for sure. But you’re
right proof have to be made.
