Keynote: Creating a Golden Path for GraphQL
summary
GraphQL Foundation TSC launches the Golden Path Initiative to make safe defaults the path of least resistance: it proposes batch execution (breadth-first resolvers or query planning) to eliminate the N+1 problem, recommends shipping integrated DataLoader-style batching by default, and defines baseline policies like cost limits, error masking, naming conventions, native pagination support, and fragment-first schema patterns. The plan calls for a year of specification and docs work, then ecosystem-wide implementation and measured reduction in common production outages.
