About GraphQL with Kong Gateway
GraphQL decouples apps from services by introducing a flexible query language. Instead of a custom API for each screen, app developers describe the data they need, service developers describe what they can supply, and GraphQL automatically matches the two together. Teams ship faster across more platforms, with new levels of visibility and control over the use of their data. To learn more about how teams benefit, read why GraphQL is important, and learn how to leverage GraphQL for next-gen API platforms.
The GraphQL paradigm differs from traditional API-based systems. Depending on the resolver implementation details, one query can potentially generate an arbitrary number of requests. Proxy caching and rate limiting on top of GraphQL is key but usually overlooked as a hard problem to solve, since traditional proxy caching and rate limiting is not a good fit for GraphQL.
Kong easily integrates with existing GraphQL infrastructure out of the box. By introspecting the GraphQL schema and queries, Kong provides enterprise-grade proxy caching and rate limiting specifically tailored for GraphQL.
For proxy caching, see the GraphQL Proxy Cache Advanced plugin.
Prerequisite
You have an existing a GraphQL upstream.
Add your service and route on Kong
After installing and starting Kong Gateway, use the Admin API on port 8001 to add a new Service and Route. In this example, Kong Gateway will reverse proxy every incoming request with the specified incoming host to the associated upstream URL. You can implement very complex routing mechanisms beyond simple host matching.
curl -i -X POST \
--url http://localhost:8001/services/ \
--data 'name=graphql-service' \
--data 'url=http://example.com'
curl -i -X POST \
--url http://localhost:8001/services/example-service/routes \
--data 'hosts[]=example.com' \
Add the GraphQL Rate Limiting Advanced plugin to the service
Protect your upstream GraphQL service with rate limiting. By introspecting your schema, it will analyze query costs and provide an enterprise-grade rate limiting strategy.
curl -i -X POST http://localhost:8001/services/example-service/plugins \
--data name=graphql-rate-limiting-advanced \
--data config.limit=100,10000 \
--data config.window_size=60,3600 \
--data config.sync_rate=10
The GraphQL Rate Limiting Advanced plugin supports two rate limiting strategies. The default strategy will try to estimate cost on queries by counting the nesting of nodes. The default strategy is meant as a good middle ground for general GraphQL queries, where it’s difficult to assert a clear cost strategy, so every operation has a cost of 1.
A more advanced strategy is available for GraphQL schemas that enforce quantifier arguments on any connection, providing a good approximation on the number of nodes visited for satisfying a query. Any query without decorated quantifiers has a cost of 1. It is roughly based on GitHub’s GraphQL resource limits.
