As an API consumer, I want the API to handle my requests efficiently, both in terms of data loading and request batching, to minimize network latency and server load.
Acceptance Criteria
[ ] The API should optimize query execution by resolving only the requested fields.
[ ] Batch similar queries triggered in a short timeframe into a single database call.
[ ] The server should use data-loaders to batch and cache per-request.
[ ] Support for automatic persisted queries to reduce request size.
[ ] Include query complexity analysis to prevent overly complex queries from being executed.
[ ] Provide query cost in the response headers for client-side awareness and debugging.
[ ] Implement rate-limiting based on query cost to prevent abuse.
