Summary
In this chapter, we have learned about some of the possible attacks on GraphQL servers. In our analysis, we looked at DoS attacks in GraphQL and how to prevent them, including establishing a depth limit for queries and implementing a rate limit for our server. Furthermore, we delved into the mechanisms behind batching attacks and the potential risks associated with injection attacks.
To further enhance our understanding, we also covered the concept of calculating the cost of a query using GraphQL directives. By comprehensively studying these various aspects, we aim to strengthen the security measures and overall resilience of our GraphQL implementation.
In the next chapter, we will look at how to handle GraphQL errors properly.
