GraphQL Is Different

Unlike REST, a GraphQL API exposes one endpoint and the client decides what data to fetch. Two requests to the same URL can have radically different costs depending on the query body.

Everything Is a POST

Most GraphQL traffic is a POST with a JSON body containing a query string. Your load tool must send the query as the payload, not as the URL.

A Basic k6 GraphQL Request

Build the payload as a JSON object and POST it with the right content type.

import http from 'k6/http';

export default function () {
  const query = '{ products { id name price } }';
  const payload = JSON.stringify({ query: query });
  const params = { headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } };
  http.post('https://api.example.com/graphql', payload, params);
}

Using Variables

Parameterize queries with GraphQL variables so each virtual user can request different data without rewriting the query string.

const query = 'query($id: ID!) { product(id: $id) { name } }';
const payload = JSON.stringify({ query: query, variables: { id: '42' } });

Query Depth and Cost

Deeply nested queries can explode in cost. Load test both shallow and deep queries to understand the worst case, and watch for nested list fields that multiply the work.

Checking the Response Body

A GraphQL request can return HTTP 200 yet still contain an errors array. Always validate the body, not just the status code.

import { check } from 'k6';
const res = http.post(url, payload, params);
check(res, {
  'no graphql errors': function (r) {
    return JSON.parse(r.body).errors === undefined;
  },
});

The N+1 Resolver Trap

A common GraphQL performance issue is the N+1 problem, where resolving a list triggers one extra database call per item. Load testing with realistic list sizes surfaces this quickly.

Mixing Query Types

Real clients send a mix of cheap and expensive queries plus mutations. Model this mix so your test reflects production cost distribution, not just one query repeated.

Tagging by Operation

Give each GraphQL operation a name and tag the request with it. This lets you see latency per operation even though they share one URL.

http.post(url, payload, { tags: { op: 'getProduct' } });

Watching Persisted Queries

Some APIs use persisted queries (a hash instead of the full query). Make sure your test sends them the way real clients do, or you will measure an unrealistic path.

Testing Mutations

Mutations change server state and are often the most expensive operations. Include realistic create and update mutations in your load mix, and clean up the data they produce.

const mutation = JSON.stringify({ query: 'mutation { addToCart(id: "1") { total } }' });

Quick Check

Test your GraphQL testing knowledge.

Recap

You learned to load test GraphQL.

  • Send queries as JSON POST bodies, parameterized with variables.
  • Validate the response body for the errors array.
  • Model a realistic mix and tag by operation, watching for N+1 cost explosions.
