Can you point to any resource that go through setting things up all the way from backend to frontend? I was really interested in GraphQL a couple years ago, but all the resources I found just talked about how the FE sent queries to the BE. It always felt like how to setup the BE was glossed over/assumed (maybe it's simpler than I think, but my BE dev knowledge is limited).

A common use case I would think would be: How would one transition to using GraphQL with an existing BE already in place?

If you are using Java Spring Boot you could take a look at com.graphql-java-kickstart. It has GraphQL and GraphiQL libraries for Spring Boot Starter.
