Oh, my bad, with "I always start by defining a rough data model" I supposed you were working data-first, which I've to mention that this is not bad, you can profile your DB better this way and then perform migrations from DB to code instead the reverse way.

For the GraphQL and your edges... well you don't need to use the same stack for the entire project, that's the fun in services/micro-services, that you can build each one with the tools you feel better for the job :D
You can create a dataLoader for those cases and resolve pointing to a REST if this fits better to you (for example)
