Elixir GraphQL API Security: Authentication with Absinthe

In today's interconnected world, securing your APIs is not optional—it's critical. Without robust authentication and authorization, your data and user privacy are at risk. This course guides you through the fundamental principles and practical implementation of securing GraphQL APIs built with Elixir and Absinthe. By completing this course, you will gain the knowledge and skills to design and implement secure authentication and authorization mechanisms for your Elixir GraphQL applications, protecting them from common vulnerabilities and ensuring data integrity. What you'll learn: * Understand fundamental concepts of API security, including authentication, authorization, and common attack vectors. * Implement robust user authentication flows within Elixir GraphQL APIs using Absinthe. * Apply granular role-based access control (RBAC) to protect specific GraphQL types, fields, and mutations. * Learn secure token management strategies, including the proper use of JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) and refresh tokens. * Practice implementing secure input validation and error handling to enhance API resilience. * Configure and test secure GraphQL endpoints to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches. This course begins with a clear explanation of core security concepts, then progresses to hands-on implementation of authentication and authorization within an Elixir and Absinthe environment, concluding with best practices for maintaining API security. This course is designed for beginner developers who want to learn how to secure their Elixir GraphQL APIs. No prior experience with API security is required.
