Apollo has announced the public preview of the Apollo GraphOS Operator, a tool designed to manage subgraphs and supergraphs as Kubernetes-native resources. This operator introduces three new Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) that enable users to define subgraphs, compose them into supergraphs, and deploy these configurations using native Kubernetes resources and workflows. By leveraging the Kubernetes ecosystem, the Apollo GraphOS Operator provides end-to-end declarative control over subgraphs and supergraphs, ensuring schemas and implementations remain synchronized and enabling controlled deployments. The operator automatically discovers subgraphs, composes them into a supergraph schema, and continuously monitors the composition status, integrating seamlessly with existing Kubernetes capabilities such as rolling updates and monitoring tools. It simplifies the management of GraphQL supergraphs by utilizing GitOps-friendly methodologies and promises future enhancements like ephemeral supergraphs and safe deployment strategies.
