Hi, i’m really enjoying this course. I came across this statement that sounded intesting but it didn’t give a reason that I could understand. It seemed to say “this is a bad choice, because it’s not a good option” but didn’t say why?

“GraphQL is not the right option for server-to-server communication. For example, if we want to build a way for some back-end services to speak to each other, GraphQL might not be a good choice here.”
