Does Apigee support GraphQL federation ?

Just wanted to know if Apigee supports the federation concepts of Graphql, including federation , building sub graphs and federating supergraphs

Thanks !

Hi!

If you're using Apigee Hybrid/X, GraphQL is supported, as you can check on this documentation.

Now regarding the federations support, GrtaphQL documentation explains that this is an architecture that can be used with GraphQL.

Federated architecture—also known simply as federation—is a pattern we can reach for when building our application. It pairs beautifully with GraphQL, because together they let us focus on those key pieces that matter to end-consumers. And it all happens without compromising our speed of development time.

You will need to deep-dive into the patterns and see if it suits your needs, and, for example, having 1 endpoint for each service to contribute into the same GraphQL schema. 

Hope this helps!
