Apollo Federation is a solution that enables teams to work in parallel by unblocking them from aligning their work with other teams. It allows front-end teams to build new experiences faster by directly querying the graph and not waiting for new REST endpoints to be built. With Apollo Federation, each service or domain team can own their part of the graph schema, known as the subgraph, while building a unified common graph for their developers. The solution has gained traction with hundreds of companies, including Netflix, Adobe, Walmart, and StockX, which are adopting it as a graph integration strategy. The industry adoption of the Federation Specification is also growing, with more than a dozen GraphQL servers supporting federation. Customers such as Modern Health have reported success with Apollo Federation in powering their product development and fulfilling their mission. New tools and features, including composition validation and webhooks, are being integrated into the platform to further support distributed GraphQL architecture.
