How can I upload a file in the GraphQL PLayground?
The GraphQL specification itself doesn't natively support file uploads, so the solution typically involves using extensions or additional libraries. The easiest and most straightforward way is by converting the file to Base64 before sending it to the server, you can include it as a string in the GraphQL request. This offcourse has a downside, it can increase the payload size, so it may not be the most efficient solution for large files. Other options that involve using extensions or additional libraries are using GraphQL multipart request specification and Apollo Server with Apollo Upload Client

GraphQL - From Excitement to Deception
Also, we manage to upload files via GraphQL just fine. Turns out nothing prevents you from putting a GraphQL query in a multipart form. Frameworks support this just fine, and if not, just write your own middleware, it's not even that hard.

There is a specification (and implementation) for sending files through GraphQL. https://github.com/jaydenseric/graphql-multipart-request-spec

Forging GraphQL Bombs, the 2022 version of Zip Bombs
We figured out that it was possible to reference a file several times by implementing the reference spec (https://github.com/jaydenseric/graphql-multipart-request-spec) for both a client and a server. We have no record of this vulnerability used in the wild, but we know for sure that a lot of popular projects on GitHub are vulnerable.
The GraphQL multipart specification describes how to implement file uploads in GraphQL. While usual GraphQL queries are sent as application/json, file uploads are sent as multipart/form-data. This means that the HTTP request body has multiple parts, and their functions, described in the specification, can be summarized as follows:

The Stack #3
One important thing which GraphQL Spec did not discuss about is a way to transmit files over the wire when using GraphQL. This is where GraphQL Upload comes in. While not an official spec from GraphQL foundation, Jayden had done a great job to put together a multi part spec to address exactly this problem.

The Stack #3
The Apollo CLI when combined with Federation does come with a lot of helpers to take care of things like pushing the schema, listing the services in the studio, doing codegen and so on though I am not currently sure why they are rewriting it again to Rust apart from the reasons as suggested here.
