PROTECTING GRAPHQL APIS FROM MALICIOUS QUERIES

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Cloudflare has developed a new feature to safeguard GraphQL APIs from harmful queries that could lead to a denial of service. The protection mechanism involves the use of a custom-built GraphQL query parser, which provides detailed insights into requests and enables the application of various security settings. This approach effectively manages the unique challenges posed by the single endpoint and highly flexible query structure of GraphQL APIs.
