Looks like these recommended practices did not include benchmark the queries and DB for the workload. And 99.99% there was no person with performance engineering mindset was involved (or was/ were completely ignored)

TBH, I summarized here almost a year of a process into a single paragraph, maybe it's my bad. A few engineers with good performance minds have already benchmarked and improved some of the queries, and we learned a lot from the process.

My general feeling is that for the average developer, graphql can lead to some serious performance issues, and I wonder if it's just my experience or we are doing something wrong.
