Secure GraphQL endpoints in Spring reactive applications
Posted on December 25, 2023, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
Spring Supports GraphQL requests over HTTP, Websockets and RSockets. Securing an Spring GraphQL application does not differ from securing a Web application.

How to build a GraphQL server in Python with Graphene
Posted on December 4, 2022, Level intermediate Resource Length medium
Facebook developed GraphQL during their quest to find a better and more flexible way to work across their data. They found that they could achieve this flexibility with a query-based approach.
