Grafbase

One of the advantages GraphQL offers over traditional HTTP APIs is the flexilbity to build new queries without involving an API developer in the change. But this flexibility comes with a cost: if clients can build any query then they can unwittingly build a query that would overload the backend at scale. Introducing Complexity Control to control how complex the gateway considers a particular field! https://lnkd.in/diuji62Y

When building GraphQL infrastructure in the enterprise, security is of the utmost importance. Direct access to subgraphs needs to be controlled or prevented outright. Request tampering or replay attacks may be a concern. The Grafbase Gateway now provides an additional layer of security to protect against these kinds of problems: http message signatures. When enabled, this functionality will sign every outgoing subgraph request, following the?RFC 9421 standard?for HTTP request signing. Subgraphs can then validate these signatures and reject any requests that didn't come directly from the gateway, or were tampered with along the way. https://lnkd.in/d8ch7uHB

Last year we launched support for GraphQL Federation which has since become a core part of our offering, and our most in-demand service. Standalone graphs have been a fundamental part of our platform since the launch of Grafbase. They offer a great way to get started with GraphQL and have proven valuable for many of our clients. However, over time, and through feedback from our customers, we’ve realized that standalone graphs don’t effectively scale to meet the demands of larger teams and enterprises. Due to the above, we have made the decision to focus all of our efforts on GraphQL Federation, to be able to provide our customers with a best-in-class quality product and experience. https://lnkd.in/dKR9qEh8

Until now Grafbase Edge Caching has been all or nothing: either the entire request is served from the cache, or the entire request runs. Starting today Grafbase supports partial caching that allows you to mix cacheable with non-cacheable data. https://lnkd.in/dFPU8DBq
