GraphQL Security Review: Depth Limits, Complexity Limits, Introspection, Abuse Cases

Maxim Mironjuk - February 23, 2025

Without additional protective measures, GraphQL APIs are vulnerable to overloaded queries, introspection attacks, batching DoS, and data leaks through resolvers that are too permissive. This security review shows concrete attack scenarios and the matching countermeasures.

Test Magento GraphQL & REST Endpoints with the PhpStorm HTTP Client

Maxim Mironjuk - February 22, 2025

Postman, Insomnia, and curl become optional the moment PhpStorm has a full-featured HTTP client built in. GraphQL queries, REST endpoints, bearer-token authentication, and environment variables for different stages, all right inside the IDE, versioned in the repository, with no tool switching required.

Solving the GraphQL N+1 Problem with DataLoader Batching

Maxim Mironjuk - February 21, 2025

Few performance problems hit GraphQL APIs as reliably as the N+1 problem: an innocent-looking nested query triggers hundreds of individual database queries behind the scenes. The DataLoader pattern solves this systematically through batching and request-scoped caching.

Magento GraphQL and EAV: What Product Queries Really Cost

Maxim Mironjuk - February 18, 2025

A Magento GraphQL product query that looks simple can internally trigger dozens of SQL joins across EAV tables. Anyone who does not understand how the Entity-Attribute-Value model works ends up optimizing the wrong thing. This article explains why EAV is expensive, which measures actually help, and where the limits are.

GraphQL Directives: Building Custom Directives for Auth and Formatting

Maxim Mironjuk - February 14, 2025

When the same authorization check gets copied into twenty resolvers, that's a sign the behavior belongs in the schema declaration instead of repeated code. GraphQL directives make exactly that possible: an @auth tag on a field replaces the boilerplate check, a @formatDate directive controls output formats without touching the resolver.

GraphQL Response Caching with Varnish and CDN Edge Caching

Maxim Mironjuk - February 07, 2025

POST requests with a dynamic body aren't readily cacheable by classic HTTP caches, yet that's exactly the default transport for GraphQL. GraphQL response caching with Varnish and CDN edge caching clears this hurdle through GET queries, persisted queries and surrogate keys, so responses land at the edge before they ever reach the origin server.

GraphQL for Headless CMS: Strapi, Contentful and Magento Compared

Maxim Mironjuk - February 05, 2025

Wiring a headless CMS to GraphQL is an architectural decision that shapes content modeling, caching, and team workflows for years. Strapi, Contentful, and Magento GraphQL implement the same specification in fundamentally different ways, with consequences for query complexity, authorization, and where content ends and commerce data begins.

Preparing Magento Modules for GraphQL: Sensible Structure and File Layout

Maxim Mironjuk - February 04, 2025

Making a custom Magento module GraphQL-ready sounds simple, yet it often fails because of missing structure: misplaced schema files, resolvers without clear delegation, di.xml entries that never take effect. This article shows what the file layout should look like and why convention matters more here than creativity.

GraphQL for Internal Admin Tools: Build an API for Dashboards Fast

Maxim Mironjuk - February 01, 2025

Internal tools have different priorities than public APIs: no heavy traffic, but plenty of disparate data sources, shifting requirements and a small team that needs to ship fast. GraphQL for internal tools fits exactly that need, because one schema bundles multiple backends and admin dashboards no longer depend on an endless list of REST endpoints.

TypeScript with GraphQL Code Generator: Types from the Schema

Maxim Mironjuk - January 29, 2025

Manually maintained TypeScript interfaces for GraphQL types almost inevitably drift out of sync once the schema changes. GraphQL Code Generator solves this problem by generating server resolver types, client operation types and even ready made React hooks directly and automatically from a single schema file.
