Migrating Netflix to GraphQL Safely
GraphQL queries are just HTTP POST queries with a JSON body. They're supported everywhere.
If you want specialized tooling for them, Kotlin and Swift both have great strongly-typed GraphQL libraries.
Apollo publishes libraries for both:

- https://www.apollographql.com/docs/ios/
- GraphQL making its way into a Twitter discussion about latency is not what I expected

SwiftGraphQL - A GraphQL client for Swift lovers.
Apollo iOS, on the other hand, generates Swift types from queries in our "queries.graphql" files and supports caching out of the box. Generating types from the SDL is not per se a problem, but it becomes cumbersome and error-prone with large nested queries. Apollo iOS also strongly-binds the generated structures to your queries, making it almost impossible to translate fetched data into an internal state.

Netflix Uses Java
Interesting the article jumps straight from REST to GraphQL and forgets Falcor[0] - Netflix's alternative vision for federated services. For a while it looked like it might be a contender to GraphQL but it never really seemed to take off despite being simpler to adopt.

Migrating Netflix to GraphQL Safely
The business case seems to be to finally kill Falcor [1] which had a lot of similarities to GraphQL but a much smaller maintenance and developer community than GraphQL and I would assume looked a lot like tech debt to Netflix at this point.
