Is Query / Save Objects from the frontend safe?

Moralis General
#1

Hey there,

We need to store some off chain data on Moralis Database.

Is it safe to call object.save() and object.find() from the front end using react-moralis? I notice when we query the object directly from the frontend, we get bunch information like objectId, createdAt, updatedAt.

Should we enclose these info from the front end and using Cloud Functions for saving and querying instead?

Does cloud function consumes more resources than calling saving/querying from the front end?

the difference is that anyone can use .save in front end and save anything there or modify the objects, if you want to add some kind of protection, you will have to use cloud functions or server side code

Thanks. Cloud functions do seem like a better approach.
