Notes:
- Gives a good overview.
- pre-dates GraphiQL - so uses POST requests in examples
- Backend APIs are **storage**-centric ... front-end APIs are **_product**_-centric
- acknowledges the complexity of abstracting all sub-queries (to various backend systems) into just one front-end query. The main issue with this is that because the GraphQL query will only return to the client once _all_ the backend queries have resolved. So your API is only as fast as the _slowest query_ ...
