The text discusses the challenges of providing real-time data to consumers in modern media apps and how Apollo GraphOS can help solve these issues. It introduces federated subscriptions, a new transport protocol that enables real-time communication between clients and subgraphs without being limited by traditional WebSocket connections. This allows for scalable and resilient real-time APIs, unlocking opportunities for richer experiences and bespoke APIs for external users and third parties. The text also provides guidance on getting started with federated subscriptions, including configuration options and examples, as well as resources for further learning and support.
