This is a nice spec for implementing cursor based pagination in GQL. My interest was piqued because I had heard of cursor based pagination but only had experience with limit/offset. I suspect maybe that is the case for others. I also just find the specification very clear and well done which makes it beautiful in a weird sort of way.
I guess the question becomes, how do you actually implement this using something like postgres on the backend? You actually need to keep a transaction open to perhaps guarantee the results in the cursor are consistent with the results from the previous page?
