GraphQL: the N+1 problem and batching

When to use

Use this skill for the N+1 problem and batching in GraphQL. This skill specifically handles the N+1 problem and batching and nothing else in the GraphQL family.

Procedure

Introduce DataLoader to batch and cache per-request field fetches and eliminate N+1 database round-trips.

Notes

This is the GraphQL skill dedicated to the N+1 problem and batching. Sibling skills cover other GraphQL capabilities; this one is the right choice only when the task is about the N+1 problem and batching.
