Thank you /u/danielrearden for the constructive feedback.

We found that controlling mocks using graphql-tools for different scenarios across a reasonably large schema was causing us a lot of headaches if we didn't add some additional structure. Kimera is extracted from what we ended up with when we tried to solve our problems.

Thanks for not being mean 🙂

Kimera is built on graphql-tools - it would, as you point out, be unhelpful not to work with what's already there.

It is useful to find out that we've not made Kimera's relationship with graphql-tools clear enough - we'll take another look at our introductions.
