Description
Hi all 👋
Apollo client provides a very interesting feature for automatically batching queries on the client side. Suppose you have a tree like the following.
``` js
const Child = () => (
[...]
);
const Parent = () => (
[...]
[...]
);
```
By default, the two queries from the `Parent` and the `Child` would generate two separate network requests.
``` graphql
# In the first network request
query Parent {
[...]
}
# In the second network request
query Child {
[...]
}
```
[I read](https://blog.apollographql.com/query-batching-in-apollo-63acfd859862) there is a `shouldBatch` option that you can pass to `ApolloClient` that should solve this issue. I think it would be great to have such feature in Amplify as well.
What do you think?

Research direction
The issue names no repository files or tests. Start with ApolloClient's shouldBatch behavior and the linked query-batching reference, then trace the corresponding Amplify/AppSync client entry point; done means the Parent and Child queries can be combined instead of sent as two requests, with coverage for that example.
