Apollo Router
The runtime for graph-based API orchestration
Apollo Router is the execution engine for graph-based API orchestration. It's a binary that sits in front of your existing REST and GraphQL APIs, and you run it next to them in your cloud environment. Given a query, the router plans an efficient way to fetch all requested data from across your various endpoints. The router lets you leverage advanced GraphQL features while federating REST and GraphQL microservices into a unified graph.
