𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗤𝗟 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗱𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 (𝗔𝗣𝗤) For organizations utilizing 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙌𝙇, ensuring operational efficiency is crucial, particularly when handling repetitive queries. 𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙌𝙪𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 (𝘼𝙋𝙌) provides an effective solution to enhance performance, minimize payload size, & improve caching mechanisms. 🔎 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗣𝗤? 𝘼𝙋𝙌 allows the 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙌𝙇 router to store queries in a persisted format. Instead of transmitting the full query text repeatedly, clients can reference a hash-based identifier of previously stored queries. This process minimizes data transfer and expedites query execution, particularly when utilizing 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙉𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙨 (𝘾𝘿𝙉𝙨). 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀: ➪ On the first request, the query is stored on the server with a unique hash. ➪ Subsequent requests reference this hash to retrieve and execute the query, eliminating the need to resend the full query text. ➪ Hash-based queries can also leverage 𝙂𝙀𝙏 requests, optimizing 𝘾𝘿𝙉 caching performance. 💡 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗣𝗤 ✅ 𝙍𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙋𝙖𝙮𝙡𝙤𝙖𝙙𝙨 ⟶ streamline communication by transmitting only query hashes. ✅ 𝙀𝙣𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝘾𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 ⟶ efficiently cache frequently executed queries with CDNs. ✅ 𝙊𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙯𝙚𝙙 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 ⟶ decrease bandwidth usage and server processing overhead. ⚙️ 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝗨𝗽 𝗔𝗣𝗤 𝘼𝙋𝙌 can be configured in the 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙌𝙇 𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙧 by defining the 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤_𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥_𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 section in the configuration file. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻: ✔️ 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲: Stores queries in the router’s in-memory cache. Ideal for testing or smaller applications where persistence across restarts isn’t needed. ✔️ 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲: Ensures persistent storage of queries even after a router restart. This is the best option for production environments. 🛠 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗣𝗤 𝙏𝙤 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝘼𝙋𝙌 𝙨𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙥: 1️⃣ Send a request with only the hash. The server will reject it initially since the query isn’t persisted yet. 2️⃣ Send a second request with the query text and hash together. This persists the query. 3️⃣ Send the hash-only request again. This time, it should succeed as the query is now persisted. Implementing 𝘼𝙋𝙌 enhances 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙌𝙇 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 by significantly improving efficiency and reducing resource consumption. For enterprises focused on scalable and high-performance APIs, 𝘼𝙋𝙌 is an indispensable tool. Explore how 𝘼𝙋𝙌 can optimize your workflows and drive better performance.

Old Way: Ignoring API Security Measures New Way: Follow our Hardening Guide to secure your GraphQL APIs Configuring a production ready GraphQL router can be challenging. To address this, we've created the Hardening Guide, a comprehensive resource designed to help you implement effective security measures & avoid common vulnerabilities in your APIs. Here's how to implement Hardening Guide to protect your APIs: 1.) Disable Introspection ↳ Protect your API schema from exposure in production by disabling introspection, a feature often unnecessary in live environments. 2.) Disable Development Mode ↳ Limit the risk of exposing sensitive information by restricting development mode to local testing only. 3.) Disable FIle Uploads ↳ Optimize router performance and reduce potential security risks by disabling file uploads when not required. 4.) Enable Config Signing ↳ Prevent unauthorized tampering by ensuring all configurations are validated and signed before deployment. 5.) Enable Rate Limiting ↳ Control API traffic to avoid overloading subgraphs and maintain stable operations. 6.) Configure CORS ↳ Restrict access to trusted domains, headers, and methods to enhance security. Why Utilize the Hardening Guide? Enhanced Security → protect your APIs from potential vulnerabilities. Operational Stability → ensure your API performs reliably in production. Trust and Compliance → build confidence with users through robust security measures. By adopting WunderGraph's Hardening Guide, you can simplify the process of securing your APIs and focus on delivering seamless application experiences. 📄 Check out the full guide in the comments. ♻️ Share this post to support secure API practices within the community. #APISecurity #GraphQL #GraphQLBestPractices #HardeningGuide #CyberSecurity #TechLeadership #SecureDevelopment #APIManagement

The reason your APIs might not be secure? (they're missing a key safeguard) We've analyzed countless API security breaches & studied best practices from leading tech platforms. The key insight we uncovered? Without robust validation, APIs are highly vulnerable to tampering. This is why we developed 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙜 𝙑𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 & 𝙎𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 a powerful feature available since version 0.74.0: 🔒 Validates and signs router configurations to prevent unauthorized changes ⚙️ Detects tampering attempts, such as altered subgraph URLs that could reroute traffic to malicious servers 🌐 Secures configuration updates, whether fetched via CDN or downloaded to your file system Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ Every time a new configuration is composed, it undergoes external validation and signing. 2️⃣ Only successfully validated configurations are deployed to your router. 3️⃣ The router checks the configuration’s signature upon update to ensure it hasn’t been compromised. Our goal is to let you focus on scaling your applications seamlessly while we ensure your configurations remain secure and tamper-proof. API security is critical—don’t leave it to chance.

A large enterprise invited me to discuss their Federation Architecture. One big question that came up was Connectors! Should they adopt them? And if yes, how? If you know me, I'm neither a Powerpoint guy nor do I ramble unprepared about a topic. I like to lay out my thoughts in long form markdown docs. If you're thinking about Federation & Connectors, this post can give you some food for thought. https://lnkd.in/gYBcvFgK
