The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
I used to be in the camp of "ORM's are bad just write your own queries" but once the application grows to some extent and you are interacting with several rows of data across many different tables often you'll wish you had an ORM (or at the very least a SQL builder or even something ORM like but hand-written like https://jdbi.org/#_createsqlobject ).
https://github.com/graphql-java/graphql-java-examples/tree/master/hibernate-example does exist though, so I assume it's possible you can have both (I just don't know off-hand what the value would be).
