See how to secure your GraphQL API endpoints to prevent API spam and query attacks with rate and depth limiting.

If you have a Node.js GraphQL endpoint on your project’s backend with various resolvers, and if you have it deployed on production, you’ll need to secure your GraphQL API endpoints with rate and depth limiting.

Rate limiting helps you throttle a user if a set limit of requests per time is exceeded, and depth limiting helps you limit the complexity of a GraphQL query by its depth. These measures help your app prevent API spam and query attacks. In this article, we’ll cover why and how to rate limit and depth limit your APIs.
