Key Takeaways

• Offset-based pagination (`skip`/`limit`) is simple to implement but can return inconsistent results on live datasets
• Cursor-based pagination is more reliable for real-time content but requires storing and passing a cursor value
• GROQ uses slice notation (`[0..9]`) for offset pagination; GraphQL APIs typically use `first`/`after` cursor arguments
• Always fetch total count separately to calculate page numbers and "end of results" states
• Cache paginated responses at the CDN or application layer to reduce API load
