Do We Still Need GraphQL with React Server Components?

Do We Still Need GraphQL with React Server Components?

The key question raised is whether GraphQL remains essential when direct frontend-to-backend querying is possible.The answer varies based on project size and team structure. For smaller projects or solo developers, GraphQL might not be necessary, as React Server Components offer flexibility for quick prototyping. However, larger teams and enterprises could still find value in GraphQL for managing relationships between multiple backends and applications.

I will do my best to provide insights into when to consider GraphQL and when React Server Components might be more suitable.

Yeah, the big question is caching. With GraphQL, I am able to cache response but not with querying direct. I noticed a refetch is made nearly every time.
