Grafast GraphQL Execution Engine
Grafast is a next-generation planning and execution engine for GraphQL servers from the Graphile team, designed as a replacement for the graphql-js execution layer. Rather than resolving fields individually, Grafast uses a planning phase to build a dependency graph of "steps" that can be executed optimally — eliminating N+1 queries and enabling efficient batching across the entire operation.
