Summary

A new suite of advanced features for GraphQL APIs has been introduced to enhance both observability and security. The observability improvements include a "GraphQL" dashboard that displays crucial metrics such as request rate, duration, and failure rate, helping identify bottlenecks and issues more efficiently. On the security front, two significant enhancements have been made: the ability to disable Hasura's admin secret to prevent unauthorized access in case of a leak, and a feature to limit the nesting depth of GraphQL queries to avoid resource exhaustion and potential denial-of-service attacks. These features are initially available to members of the Teams and Enterprise plans, with further enhancements like caching and two-factor authentication being considered for future development.
