GraphQL is a query language which is used for backend and front-end communication in web applications. It has the benefit of being able to return exactly the data combination the application is asking for without unnecessary requests. GraphQL is most widely used as a part of a React application stack.
Generally considered a successor to the REST API principles.
Developed in 2012 in Facebook, it was battle-tested as a part of the Facebook website and then publicly released in 2015.
GraphQL is just a language, so to start working with it you need some supporting library on both backend and front-end parts of your app.
Good fit for apps with complex systems and microservice dependencies.
Tailored network requests to get exactly the data you look for.
Validation and type-checking inherently part of the API.
Learning curve is not optimal, especially for newcomers.
You need extra layers in your front-end and backend to work with GraphQL comfortably.

Based on GraphQL in it’s core, Next.js is a complete framework for building websites and web applications with React.
Gatsby is using GraphQL to a great extent to represent all data to generate the website from.
