Overpriced, haha.
12x multiple for a Cloud SaaS company is not overpriced typically. I was surprised at this low multiple. Could be due to the current economic situation. And also the licensing changes, lack of product moat contributing in the wrong time.

GraphQL basically a layer that hides data federation from the client.
Would this benefit encourage you to use GraphQL as your backend/data api layer?

I find it to be more complex(Hence more error prone), less performant, harder to resolve bugs.
For a queries and mutations you still need to write business-logic and database access which is very similar to how you would develop a REST-API.
On the performance side, there is definitely the N+1 problem which is solved (partially) by the data loader pattern.
But curious if the benefits vs tradeoffs is in favour of GraphQL?
And have you considered tools like Hasura/Postgraphile that take care of boilerplate CRUD APIs for databases? Then you actually just focus on writing business logic.
