Appendix: Concluding Remarks and Next Steps

Introduction to Apollo Federation

Apollo Federation is designed to build a single, coherent GraphQL API from multiple services, a concept that’s especially beneficial in a microservices architecture. Its implementation in NestJS harnesses the power of both GraphQL and Apollo to create a robust, scalable, and efficient GraphQL API.

Federation in microservices architecture

As we delve into the realm of GraphQL and its implementations, one groundbreaking concept stands out for its ability to redefine how we build and scale our GraphQL APIs: Apollo Federation. In this introduction, we’ll explore the fundamental principles of Apollo Federation, understand its purpose, and how it revolutionizes the way we approach GraphQL in a microservices architecture.

What is Apollo Federation?

Apollo Federation is an architecture for building a distributed graph across multiple services. Developed by Apollo, a leader in GraphQL technology, Federation allows you to compose multiple...
