Apollo Gateway v0.x is now officially deprecated and will reach its end-of-life on September 22, 2023. The project has stopped active development, but security patches and major fixes will be released until then. Users are recommended to migrate to Apollo Router v1.x for improved performance and capabilities, which includes features like cors, logging, telemetry, and traffic shaping. Apollo Gateway 2.x is a drop-in upgrade from Gateway 0.x, allowing plugins and middleware written for 0.x to work unmodified. The development focus will shift to Apollo Router in the future.
