New in Apollo Router v1.12: Improved router security, performance, and extensibility

The latest version of Apollo Router, v1.12, has been released with several new features that improve security, performance, and extensibility. The router now includes support for JWT authentication, which allows for defense-in-depth security by rejecting malicious traffic at the edge of the graph. This feature also reduces operational burden on backend API teams, latency due to JWT processing, and speeds up response times. Additionally, the router features distributed APQ caching with Redis, which can significantly reduce p99 latency during peak traffic. The router also supports external coprocessors written in the programming language of choice, providing full isolation and a clean separation of concerns. These features are now available to GraphOS Enterprise customers running self-hosted routers, and the team is excited to make more security and performance features coming up soon for GraphOS Enterprise as well as GraphOS Cloud.
