Ever built a blazing-fast GraphQL API and thought, ""What could possibly go wrong?"" Oh... so much. Let's talk about that.

GraphQL is flexible, elegant, and makes your front-end developers happier than a cat in a sunbeam. But behind its developer-friendly smile lurks a new breed of vulnerabilities-ones that traditional API security practices just aren't equipped to handle. That's where this book comes in.

GraphQL Explored: Navigating Security Vulnerabilities is your witty, practical, no-fluff guide to understanding and fixing the security flaws hiding in your GraphQL APIs. Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned developer who's already been burned by an overly generous introspection query, this book will show you how to bulletproof your back end-without killing your productivity or your vibe.

In this book, you'll laugh, cringe, and learn how to:

Understand why GraphQL's superpowers are also super dangerous Prevent denial-of-service attacks using query depth and complexity limits Stop injection attacks (SQL, NoSQL, and the weird ones) before they happen Implement proper field- and object-level authorization (spoiler: it's not optional) Disable or restrict introspection like a boss Handle file uploads without accidentally accepting a zip bomb named ""cat.jpg"" Design a schema that's both developer-friendly and attack-resistant Secure your deployment and logging practices Test and audit your GraphQL API like an actual security pro

What makes this book different?

It's written for developers, not cryptographers

Real-world examples, facepalm-worthy mistakes, and actual code

Zero doom-and-gloom, maximum ""you've got this!"" energy

A little snark, a lot of heart, and just enough caffeine

Why this book matters:

GraphQL is gaining massive adoption across industries-from startups to enterprise. But many teams are unknowingly exposing sensitive data or falling victim to performance-killing queries simply because they didn't know what to watch for. This book aims to change that.

You'll leave not just with knowledge, but with confidence-the kind that lets you say, ""Yeah, I hardened that API,"" and mean it.

Author's Note:

Hi, I'm Kaedric. I've been where you are: deploying GraphQL with stars in my eyes, only to discover that it happily lets users ask for everything-and then hands it over like a generous but misguided waiter. I wrote this book to save you from that sinking ""wait... what just happened?"" feeling. If I can help you dodge just one late-night emergency patch or ""security incident"" Slack message, then this was all worth it.

So, if you're ready to master GraphQL security without falling asleep or setting your server on fire... let's get into it.

Perfect for:

Full-stack developers Backend engineers DevOps/SecOps folks Security-conscious teams adopting GraphQL Anyone who loves clean APIs and hates cleaning up breaches Protect your queries. Defend your data.

GraphQL can be secure-you just have to know where to look.
