As I understand it right now, GraphQL is basically a proxy standing in front of the web server and translating queries. Subscriptions are possible because, being a central service, all request go through it therefore it has context.

Is GraphQL subscriptions enough or could it be complemented with PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY features? What if the service is distributed? How to coordinate the multiple nodes then?

Confused this issue with another one in the above commit, so only the first comments are relevant. I think.
