An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
GraphQL is a modern replacement for REST that enables service consumers to specify the data they require from the API. It addresses some of the most fundamental problems in integration but depends upon broad support to work its magic.
Inigo provides security, management, analytics, and overall control for GraphQL-based applications, thus easing its implementation.
Because GraphQL is both new and disruptive, it opens up new avenues of attack that existing API gateways and SASE solutions cannot see, let alone mitigate. Inigo addresses these threats.
GraphQL bypasses traditional HTTP-centric controls like error codes and query introspection. Inigo fills these gaps, providing visibility into errors and granular control over introspection that supports developer needs while maintaining any confidentiality requirements that apply to the requested data.
Inigo also provides rate limiting which helps GraphQL developers avoid poorly structured queries that generate excess traffic, while giving incident response teams the information they need to track down GraphQL-related issues in production.
Inigo is infrastructure-agnostic and can run as a gateway, sidecar, or middleware depending upon the infrastructure in place.
