Add timeout to GraphQL queries
Summary
There is no timeout on GraphQL queries. The graphql-ruby
library allows us to implement a timeout that returns a partial response if the timeout is triggered. The response contains the fields that had a chance to resolve, and anything unresolved is nil
.
Potential solution
We can add timeout middleware quite easily using the graphql-ruby
library. However, implementing this solution would have to take into account that the frontend must be able to properly handle partial responses.
