Apollo Router is the execution engine for your API platform. It's a binary that sits in front of your existing services, REST and/or GraphQL, handling every client request. Since all transactions pass through the router, how you configure, secure, and observe it has a direct impact on the performance, security, and reliability of your entire API layer.
This session is for engineers and architects who want to get more out of Apollo Router. Whether you're running a federated graph or a single GraphQL API, deep in your router deployment or just getting started, this session meets you where you are.
You'll walk away with practical guidance on:
Performance: How to tune Apollo Router for speed, efficiency, and scale across your APIs
Security: How to integrate security measures of Apollo Router into your infrastructure for a robust API layer
Observability: How to instrument Apollo Router to get full visibility into every request
Governance: How to enforce API policies such as persisted queries, demand control, and rate limiting
