Question: Query complexity and depth #450

Closed syunta closed 3 months ago

syunta commented 11 months ago

Hello. I'm using lacinia.

I was wondering if there is a way to quantify the Query Complexity as a cost in lacinia. By measuring the complexity of queries beforehand, I could protect the application from high-cost queries. I'm open to any method, whether it's an automatic calculation or a manual assignment of costs.

Also, if there are any other suitable approaches for lacinia, I'd love to hear about them.

Thank you!

This is something that can be addressed somewhat using the preview API, which gives you a view of the entire query. Identifying cost is tricky however ... it's very application specific.

Thank you for your response. I've decided to also use Persisted Queries to prevent unexpectedly executing complex and high-cost queries.
