GraphQL 2021 Wishlist: The top GraphQL Opportunities & Challenges for 2021
summary
A prioritized wishlist of concrete gaps: define a standard health-check & error handling spec, build a lightweight schema registry and CI gate that rejects breaking changes, add first-class rate-limiting & security primitives in servers and gateways, improve observability with distributed tracing and actionable metrics, and prototype GraphQL & wasm for safe edge resolvers. Each item names what to spec or ship, the integration point (gateway, client, CI), and the expected developer workflow change.
