graphql-batch

tool 4 connections

Ruby gem originally implemented by Shopify that batches data loading in graphql-ruby resolvers. Using a RecordLoader for a model (e.g. the User author of each Post) collapses one query per instance into a single batched query, fixing the classic N+1 problem for belongs_to relationships.
