    GraphQL was internally developed by Facebook in 2012 and was later open sourced in 2015. The idea emerged while Facebook decided to rebuild its mobile native applications. They were looking a powerful data-fetching API to describe all of Facebook's data requirements yet simple enough to learn and adopt by their product developers and so they came up from this idea of declarative API implementation to a query language to a complete standardized GraphQL specification. Today it powers billions of API requests and is widely adapted by many big tech giants like Netflix, GitHub in their production applications.
