In the real world, a lot of HTTP requests are dropped or canceled. This can happen due to a flakey internet connection, navigation to a new view or page within a web or native app or the user simply closing the app. In this case, the server can stop processing the request and save resources. That is why Yoga now comes with experimental support for canceling the GraphQL execution upon request cancellation.
