Cosmo Router now supports GraphQL Cost Control — estimate and enforce operation costs before any subgraph is touched.

Wundergraph is a blog or publication focused on GraphQL, a query language and runtime for APIs. Through tutorials, guides, and case studies, Wundergraph explores various aspects of GraphQL development, including schema design, query optimization, and integration with frontend frameworks. Developers can learn how to leverage GraphQL to build efficient and flexible APIs that meet the needs of modern web and mobile applications.

WunderGraph's Cosmo Router now supports GraphQL Cost Control, a feature that estimates and enforces operation costs before any subgraph is executed. It implements IBM's GraphQL Cost Directive specification, using @cost and @listSize directives for customization. Two modes are available: Measuring Mode (records cost without rejecting) and Enforcing Mode (rejects operations exceeding a cost limit). Estimated cost is computed statically at planning time, while actual cost is recorded dynamically from real subgraph responses. Use cases include throttling expensive clients, observing latency spikes, usage-based billing, and preventing deeply nested list abuse.
