This is my first post, and I am new to hardening/defending GraphQL
Recently I had been reading the “9 Ways To Secure your GraphQL API” blog post on the Apollo site.
The post makes mention of using graphql-depth-limit to limit query depth, however it seems that the repo is no longer public [https://github.com/stems/graphql-depth-limit](https://github.com/stems/graphql-depth-limit).
I’ve done some asking around and someone suggested that I look into [GraphQL Armor](https://github.com/Escape-Technologies/graphql-armor), and on the surface it seems like it would meet our needs.
I wanted to ask if GraphQL Armor was something people here recommend using or if there is a more standardized way to limit query depth in Apollo.
Thank you
