@martin All queries and operations in a http request is counted. You should still batch requests when possible to reduce overall latency. If you are using Apollo this is also a great approach: https://www.graph.cool/blog/improving-performance-with-apollo-query-batching-ligh7fmn38

02/20/2017, 10:07 PMThanks, @sorenbs. Didn’t you used to previously count queries and operations that were batched together as a single request? I vaguely remember reading this before you changed your pricing structure.

With the pricing change we wanted to streamline and make sure people aren't forced to write complex code purely to beat the pricing model. Charging per individual query/mutation is also better aligned with our cost structure, so more fair overall.

Do you think that’s a reasonable decision?

02/20/2017, 10:17 PMI think it depends: As beginning GraphQL developer, I’m concerned that I’m writing more queries & mutations than are necessary. That’s definitely a concern on my part.

The beauty of GraphQL is that you can often retrieve all the data you need for a screen with a single query where you would need to do 10+ requests with a traditional rest api.

Feel free to ask about concrete cases. Maybe we can help you model your data in a more optimal way

02/21/2017, 2:00 AMThank you, @sorenbs! Maybe—if that’s ok—I’ll have you take a quick glance at my repo before I’m ready to launch it… to see if some of the queries could be made redundant.

02/24/2017, 5:08 PMThere’s a component that’s often being called, but requires graphql
requests Copy code
export default
graphql(expireTrial, { name: 'expireTrial' })(
graphql(createPurchase, { name: 'createPurchase' })(
graphql(upgradeApp, { name: 'upgradeApp' })(Epub)
)

02/24/2017, 5:09 PMIf you only need the request being made for some cases, it's possible to introduce another parent component that manages that logic
