pagination question on appsync to elasticsearch

AppSync can use either cursor-based or offset-based pagination. At AppSync, we generally lean toward cursor-based pagination as it's more ideal for real-time data where the ordering of records might change. (Useful explanation of advantages / disadvantages of Cursor-Based over Offset-based pagination: https://www.sitepoint.com/paginating-real-time-data-cursor-based-pagination/) It sounds like in your use case, you'll want to simply use offset-based pagination, which can be accomplished using the size and from attributes in the elasticsearch query, as you mentioned. You can pass size and from args from your graphql query into your elasticsearch query.
