Federation from Day One

Join us on-demand for a two-hour, hands-on workshop that will provide an introduction to Apollo Federation. To explore these concepts, you will build a federated graph for a new greenfield app called “FlyBy” consisting of two subgraph services, an Apollo Gateway, and a client application. You will also have the opportunity to try out managed federation with Apollo Studio and the Rover CLI.

Required skills and understanding (if applicable):

• Some experience building back-end services with Node.js

• Some experience with GraphQL and Apollo Server (e.g. completing the Apollo Graph Developer – Associate certification)

1. What Apollo Federation is, how it works, and why it’s an effective solution for modularizing a graph

2. How to design subgraph schemas based on “separation of concerns”

3. How to configure an Apollo Gateway as an entry point for a federated graph

4. What managed federation is in Apollo Studio and how to use it along with the Rover CLI to compose subgraph schemas together
