That sounds a lot like our experience. We use GraphQL as a gateway to like 20 different rest endpoints. Places where we have hammered an underlying endpoint are _usually_ places where we would have done so from the client or SSR instead. We do also have all these talking within an internal network which is a huge help.

Have also done Rust and really enjoyed GQL in it, both as hobby and "innovation projects" at work. Feels good.

WRT CDN Caching: Akamai has a pretty good GraphQL caching module that can also do POST requests. Cache directives are marvellous. I'd like to see explore the "private" directive to see if it disables certain queries from being cached.
