I just released graphql-safe-guards, a tiny open-source utility that helps protect GraphQL APIs from expensive queries.

It combines two essential protections:

Query depth limiting

Query complexity validation

Unlike directive-based or runtime plugins, it relies on native GraphQL validation rules, making it:

Framework-agnostic

Predictable

Zero runtime overhead

If you’re running GraphQL in production and want simple, portable query safety, this might help.

For those interested, here’s the npm package and source code 👇 npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/graphql-safe-guards GitHub: https://github.com/Mateodiaz401/graphql-safe-guards
