What are Automatic Persisted Queries (APQ)?

APQ improves network performance and security by sending a cryptographic hash of the query instead of the full query string.

GraphQL queries can be enormous, wasting network bandwidth. With APQ, the client hashes the query and sends the hash. If the server recognizes the hash, it executes the query. If not, it requests the full query from the client, saves it in a registry (like Redis), and processes it.
