Hi Peter. As they mentioned before, graphql does not store data (it is not a database). It is a query language for APIS. In other words, it allows you to communicate with an api through queries like "SQL", that's all. It is more like a tool, that allows to work with an architecture different from the traditional REST APIs that work through endpoints and HTTP methods. I highly recommend reading the documentation, it is vastly fresh! :) graphql.org/learn/

I have been working my way through YouTube conferences, docs and examples. Cannot wait for comprehension to give way to practicality
