One thing I've noticed is it seems redux and graphql are solving the same problem in an entirely different way

Redux brands itself as a tool for managing state. How does GraphQL manage state?

The way I see it is Redux is a local normalized store which can then be used via the selector pattern to generate custom objects / views. With GraphQL you are requesting that derived data to be generated for you via the query language.

Regarding managing state I don't see GraphQL helping with that at all.
