Evaluate the cost of having GraphQL to query the catalog

[ia3andy]

From what I observed at the RivieraDev GraphQL workshop:

• it would remove most of the need to have a client library
• it would give a way to provide a client in nearly any language that handle GraphQL
• it auto adds “api” validation for request in the frontend and in the backend

And it’s actually quite easy to put in place.

Since we are migrating the creator, maybe now is the time?

love that idea, would make it easy to query and we don't have to maintain this translation between what is needed in the frontend and the model that is used in the backend

@ia3andy @edewit we are working on launcher booster that will support graphql.
We are hoping to use project called https://graphback.dev that is maintained by Red Hat AeroGear community. We support generating backend and frontend from GraphQL schema.

This can be also used for internal needs
