Thinking of using GraphQL to simplify my front end calls to the server as the number of microservices is beginning to rise. Had a question though…

Lets say I have lambdas that have to call other lambdas synchronously, so far I am having them call rest api gateways. In new approach would the lambdas now simply call the graphql api endpoint instead ?
