GraphQL makes it easy for the front end to just query an API and get results in an efficient fashion, getting only the data we need. SwaggerHub makes it easy to make standardized OpenAPI's with consistent and predictable behavior.

They also provide great tools like WebHooks and action events to pull critical metadata to our API when we need it.
