I want to say something nice about this... but unless your entire enterprise is a pure CRUD app with just a SQL database I don't see how this is useful. Complex application backends pull data from multiple sources - SQL and NoSQL databases, REST and SOAP endpoints, message queues, service buses - and perform all sorts of transactions and data transformations.

One of the strengths of GraphQL is you can transform data from multiple sources into a common model the UI can use. If your whole backend is a single SQL database schema GraphQL doesn't seem to add a whole lot of value there. I'd rather have a code generator that builds a simple Go microservice and use protobuf JS in my front end.
