No, GraphQL is not a database technology. This is a common misconception. GraphQL is a query language for APIs, not databases[1][4].
GraphQL is database agnostic and can be used with any kind of database, whether SQL or NoSQL. It can also be used without any database at all[1][4].
The key purpose of GraphQL is to provide a flexible, efficient alternative to REST APIs for fetching data. It allows clients to request exactly the data they need and nothing more, avoiding over-fetching or under-fetching issues common with REST[4].
