At Facebook, "Loader" became one of the +implementation details of the "Ent" framework, a privacy-aware data entity +loading and caching layer within web server product code. This ultimately became +the underpinning for Facebook's GraphQL server implementation and type +definitions. + +Asyncio DataLoader is a Python port of the original JavaScript DataLoader +implementation. DataLoader is often used when implementing a GraphQL service, +though it is also broadly useful in other situations. |
