Apollo Connectors, with the release of Apollo Router 2.3 and Federation 2.11, address the N+1 query problem by enabling batch requests, significantly improving API efficiency and performance. By switching from the $this variable to the $batch variable, developers can reduce the number of API requests, thus decreasing page load times and server strain. This approach mimics the functionality of DataLoader libraries by using a map to deduplicate requests and ensure data integrity. The system handles the scheduling and mapping of requests declaratively, allowing for efficient batch operations without relying on traditional DataLoader implementations. Apollo Connectors are now equipped to handle complex keys and are designed to be easily integrated into production environments, offering a more seamless and powerful API development experience.
