 * `gql.SetOutput('byte')` - modifies output format, without the need to set the environment variable
 
+### Retries
+
+The library supports automatic retries for both HTTP-level errors and GraphQL errors that match configurable patterns.
+
+**Retry behavior:**
+- **HTTP errors** (status codes outside 200-299): Always retried if retries are enabled
+- **GraphQL errors**: Only retried if the error message contains one of the configured patterns
+- **Non-matching errors**: Fail immediately without retrying (e.g., validation errors, field not found)
+
+**Configuring retryable patterns:**
+
+By default, errors containing these patterns will trigger retries:
+- `postgres` - Database connection/transaction errors
+- `connection` - Network connection issues
+- `timeout` - Request timeout errors
+- `transaction` - Database transaction conflicts
+- `could not` - Generic transient failures
+- `temporarily unavailable` - Service unavailability
+- `deadlock` - Database deadlocks
+
+You can customize these patterns using the `GRAPHQL_RETRIES_PATTERNS` environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export GRAPHQL_RETRIES_PATTERNS="postgres,connection,timeout,custom-error-pattern"
+```
+
+**Example:** To handle flaky Hasura database connections, enable retries:
+
+```bash
+export GRAPHQL_RETRIES_ENABLE=true
+export GRAPHQL_RETRIES_NUMBER=3
+export GRAPHQL_RETRIES_DELAY=250
+```
+
+This will retry GraphQL queries up to 3 times when postgres transaction errors occur, with exponential backoff starting at 250ms.
+
+### Intelligent Connection Pooling
+
+The library supports intelligent connection pooling with pre-warmed connections and automatic health monitoring. This significantly improves performance during traffic spikes by keeping hot standby connections ready.
+
+**How it works:**
+- **Pre-warming**: Connections are created and warmed up during initialization
+- **Health monitoring**: Background process periodically checks connection health
+- **Auto-refresh**: Automatically replaces stale or broken connections
+- **Hot standbys**: Ready connections eliminate cold-start latency
+
+**Configuration:**
+
+Enable connection pool warmup for production environments with variable traffic:
+
+```bash
+export GRAPHQL_POOL_WARMUP_ENABLED=true
+export GRAPHQL_POOL_SIZE=5                    # Number of hot standby connections
+export GRAPHQL_POOL_HEALTH_INTERVAL=30        # Health check every 30 seconds
+export GRAPHQL_POOL_WARMUP_QUERY="query{__typename}"  # Lightweight health check query
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ⚡ **Instant response** - Connections already established during traffic spikes
+- 🔄 **Auto-healing** - Detects and replaces broken connections automatically
+- 📊 **Predictable performance** - Eliminates connection establishment latency
+- 🛡️ **Resilience** - Maintains pool health even during network instability
+
+**Recommended settings by use case:**
+
+```bash
+# High-traffic API (e.g., production web app)
+GRAPHQL_POOL_WARMUP_ENABLED=true
+GRAPHQL_POOL_SIZE=10
+GRAPHQL_POOL_HEALTH_INTERVAL=15
+
+# Medium-traffic service (e.g., background jobs)
+GRAPHQL_POOL_WARMUP_ENABLED=true
+GRAPHQL_POOL_SIZE=5
+GRAPHQL_POOL_HEALTH_INTERVAL=30
+
+# Low-traffic/development
+GRAPHQL_POOL_WARMUP_ENABLED=false  # Default: on-demand connections
+```
+
+**Graceful shutdown:**
+
+When shutting down your application, stop the pool monitor gracefully:
+
+```go
+func main() {
+    gql := graphql.NewConnection()
+    defer gql.StopPoolMonitor()  // Ensure clean shutdown
+
+    // Your application logic
+}
+```
+
