This July, I gave this conference talk about our new GraphQL Cost Directives specification.

This article is Part 7 in a 7-Part Series. (7 posts to date, more planned)

In July 2021, I published the first draft of our GraphQL Cost Directives Spec, a formalization of how to express cost in GraphQL.

Since then, I’ve been presenting our goals and how to use the spec at conferences. I’ve uploaded the first one - my talk from the APIDays Interface 2021 conference.

Several companies have contacted me to discuss the spec. If you’re interested please reach out, either to me personally or on the #cost-analysis slack channel in the GraphQL Workspace.
