Not Your Regular Rate Limiting GraphQL
summary
Postman reports 35 million users and a 2023 GraphQL client update; this talk compares three concrete cost strategies: static query analysis (pre-execution upper bounds used by Shopify with points per type, mutations rated highest), dynamic cost analysis (instrumentation inside the execution engine as GitHub does, more precise but requires engine changes), and response cost analysis (Yelp credits by returned data). It notes pitfalls—introspection and pagination skew costs—recommends combining approaches, mentions Apollo’s Rust compiler recursion limits and a possible machine learning traffic model.
