GraphQL Beyond HTTP APIs
summary
Shopify shows GraphQL running outside HTTP: WebSockets power async subscriptions and unordered mutation responses, background jobs run daily sales report queries with generated start/end timestamps and order counts, large exports get split into smaller pieces instead of slow page loops, imports accept JSON‑lines and replay mutations, and sandboxed execution uses WebAssembly user scripts to run untrusted code while denying mutations or overriding auth for safe extension.
