+# GraphQL Tracing Recommendations
+
 To mitigate the risks associated with GraphQL Tracing, consider the following recommendations:
 
-1. **Disable Tracing in Production**: Ensure that GraphQL tracing is disabled in production environments. Tracing should only be enabled temporarily for debugging purposes and in controlled environments.
+1. **Understand Tracing Implementation**: GraphQL tracing is typically implemented using plugins and often sends data to separate tracing servers (e.g., Jaeger) rather than exposing it directly in GraphQL responses.
 
-2. **Implement Access Controls**: If tracing must be enabled in production for certain scenarios, implement strict access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel can access the tracing data.
+2. **Control Tracing in Production**: Use environment variables or configuration settings to easily enable or disable tracing based on the environment.
 
-3. **Sanitize Tracing Data**: If tracing data must be exposed, implement sanitization mechanisms to remove any potentially sensitive information before sending it to clients.
+3. **Implement Access Controls**: If tracing is enabled in production, implement strict access controls on the tracing server (e.g., Jaeger) to ensure only authorized personnel can access the tracing data.
 
-4. **Use Application Performance Monitoring (APM) Tools**: Instead of relying on GraphQL tracing for performance monitoring in production, consider using dedicated APM tools that provide more secure and comprehensive monitoring capabilities.
+4. **Sanitize Tracing Data**: Ensure that sensitive information is not included in the traced data before it's sent to the tracing server.

+Example of implementing tracing with environment-based control in Apollo Server:
 
 ```javascript
+const { ApolloServer } = require('apollo-server');
+const { ApolloServerPluginInlineTrace } = require('apollo-server-core');
+
+const isProduction = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production';
+const plugins = [];
+
+if (!isProduction) {
+  plugins.push(ApolloServerPluginInlineTrace({
+    rewriteError: (err) => {
+      // Optionally rewrite errors before sending to the tracing service
+      return err;
+    },
+  }));
+}
+
 const server = new ApolloServer({
   typeDefs,
   resolvers,
-  tracing: false, // Disable tracing
+  plugins,
 });
 ```
 
-=== "Python"
-
-```python
-from graphene import Schema
-from graphql import GraphQLBackend
-
-class CustomBackend(GraphQLBackend):
-    def __init__(self):
-        super().__init__(traceback_enabled=False)
-
-schema = Schema(query=Query, mutation=Mutation)
-result = schema.execute(
-    query,
-    backend=CustomBackend()
-)
-```
+This setup allows you to easily control tracing based on the environment, ensuring it's not accidentally enabled in production.

+# GraphQL Debug Mode Recommendations
+
 To mitigate the risks associated with GraphQL Debug Mode, consider the following recommendations:
 
 1. **Disable Debug Mode in Production**: Ensure that GraphQL debug mode is disabled in production environments. Debug information should only be available in development and testing environments.
 
-2. **Implement Custom Error Handling**: Create a custom error handling mechanism that sanitizes error messages before sending them to clients in production. This should remove any sensitive information while still providing useful feedback.
-
-3. **Use Error Masking**: Implement error masking to replace detailed error messages with generic ones in production environments.
-
-4. **Implement Proper Logging**: Instead of relying on debug mode for error tracking, implement proper logging mechanisms that securely store detailed error information for later analysis.
+2. **Use Environment-Specific Settings**: Implement environment-specific configurations to control debug mode and error verbosity.

-    // Log the detailed error internally
-    console.error('Detailed error:', error);

-    // Return a sanitized error to the client
-    return new Error('An error occurred');
