New video! Testing out modularizing your schema using rover dev
Did you know you can quickly play around with any schema files (.graphql files) and run the Apollo Router locally with rover dev? This is a great way to test out modularizing your schema, introduce entities and try out things like @defer!
Apollo Router + Apollo Explorer with GraphOS
We introduced the graph_ref option to the homepage configuration of the Apollo Router which will use an Apollo Explorer version connected to GraphOS. Just add this to your routers config:
homepage:
graph_ref: { graph_id }@{ variant }This exposes the Apollo Studio Explorer URL to the end user on the default landing page:
New Apollo Tutorial – GraphOS: Shipping your supergraph
The team just released a new tutorial on shipping your supergraph in GraphOS. This tutorial includes using the Rover CLI to run schema checks, publish schema changes and launch our changes confidently. You’ll walk through an example of how to deprecate a field in your schema safely using helpful tools and metrics from GraphOS. The course is in beta and we’re looking for feedback. Jump into our Discord server and let us know what you think!
