Learn how to lower latency in your applications by streaming your GraphQL responses using the @defer and @stream directives. Learn the trade-offs of when to use these new directives and how they differ from GraphQL Subscriptions.

@defer and @stream have been in development for some time now and have gone through many iterations. Learn about the motivation behind these changes and how they will lead to scalable GraphQL servers and efficient clients.
