One really great feature of GraphQL (which GitHub doesn't support yet in this alpha, but we plan to) is the ability to store queries for execution later. This lets us optimize and plan for the data and volume of requests being generated from a given query. Other soon-to-be-added features like subscriptions where we only return the data you need when it changes help a lot on this front as well.
