    • There will always be an overhead for sending the mutations via a Post http request vs sending them over the already established WebSocket connection. graphql-ws is not only a subscription transport but can be used for any GraphQL operation including queries and mutations. In real-time applications I tend to use my own GraphQL over Socket.io transport (https://github.com/n1ru4l/graphql-live-query/tree/main/packages/socket-io-graphql-server)
