The GitHub GraphQL API has been publicly available for [over 4 years now]. Its usage has grown immensely over time, and we’ve learned a lot from running one of the largest public GraphQL APIs in the world. Today, we are introducing a new format for object identifiers and a roll out plan that brings it to our GraphQL API this year.

What is driving the change?

As GitHub grows and reaches new scale milestones, we came to the realization that the current format of [Global IDs]in our GraphQL API will not support our projected growth over the coming years. The new format gives us more flexibility and scalability in handling your requests even faster
