Sooo Quiver is just caching?

Hi Nick,

Quiver will compile the GraphQL query code to runtime code. Is a similar approach of what v8 does when executing JS (it compiles it to assembly code), or what modern template engines do to speed up their rendering.

So basically, it will transform the GraphQL query into a pure function that can be executed without the overhead of having the GraphQL engine doing the calculations at runtime.

And this is worth $200/month?
If it allows you to run 5 fewer servers to handle your traffic, then very probably, yes.
