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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo, if you're ready to master GraphQL security without falling asleep or setting your server on fire... let's get into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-stack developers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackend engineers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevOps\/SecOps folks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecurity-conscious teams adopting GraphQL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who loves clean APIs and hates cleaning up breaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtect your queries.
