Fast-relay-pagination is a library to improve graphql-relay lazy loading by using mongoose or mongodb find and limit. As you definitely know, graphql-relay's connectionFromArray fetchs all data and perform slicing on data which is not efficient for large amount of data fetched from mongodb.

$ npm install -g fast-relay-pagination

The only effort you need, is using fetchConnectionFromArray method from library.

...
import {
  fetchConnectionFromArray
} from 'fast-relay-pagination'
...
export default{
  type: orderConnection.connectionType,
  args: {
    ...connectionArgs,
    orderFieldName: {
      type: GraphQLString,
    },
    sortType: {
      type: GraphQLInt,
    },
  },
  resolve: needAdmin(async (_, args) => {
    let orderFieldName = args.orderFieldName || '_id'
    let sortType = args.sortType || -1
    let after = args.after
    let before = args.before
    let filter = args.filter
    let first = args.first
    let last = args.last
    return fetchConnectionFromArray({
      dataPromiseFunc: SampleModel.find.bind(SampleModel), // required
      filter, // optional (for using filter on model collection) - for example => {username: 'test'} 
      after, //optiona
      before, // optional
      first, //optional
      last, // optional
      orderFieldName, // optional
      sortType, // optional
    })
  }),
}
