How does batching work?
Batching is the process of taking a group of requests, combining them into one, and making a single request with the same data that all of the other queries would have made. In GraphQL apps, batching usually takes one of two forms. The first form takes all operations and combines them into a single operation using the alias feature in GraphQL. This approach is not recommended, however, since this removes the ease of tracking metrics on a per-operation basis and adds additional complexity to the client.

Instead, we recommend sending an array of operations to a GraphQL server, having the server recognize the request as an array of operations instead of a single one, and handle each operation separately.
