• Getting started with a supergraph using the GraphOS cloud-hosted router
• Using schema checks to make changes safely and confidently
• Integrating checks and publishing in local development and CI/CD pipeline
• Analyzing and improving supergraph metrics
• Adding new features using subgraphs and entities

Cloud-hosted supergraphs are currently only available on the Serverless (Free) or Serverless plan. If you created your Apollo account or a new organization today, you will automatically have access to this plan.

You can check your organization's current plan in Apollo Studio. From your organization's page, go to the Settings tab and scroll down to the Plan and Billing section.

If you are on the legacy Free plan, you will need to convert to the Serverless (Free) plan. Click the Convert to Serverless (Free) button in the top-right corner of your organization's page in Studio.

If you are on the legacy Teams plan, or an Enterprise plan, you won't have access to cloud routing at this time. Create a new organization to continue with the hands-on portions of the workshop.

1. Open up a terminal and run the install command that suits your computer's environment:

   For Linux / Mac OS:

   curl -sSL https://rover.apollo.dev/nix/latest | sh

   Copy

   For Windows PowerShell installer

   iwr 'https://rover.apollo.dev/win/latest' | iex

   Copy

   Note: You can find other installation methods in the Apollo documentation.

2. Verify that the installation completed successfully by running rover anywhere in the terminal.

3. If it outputs a list of options and subcommands for using Rover, great! The CLI is installed and ready to go. Next, let's authenticate it with a personal API key.

4. In GraphOS Studio, click on your profile picture, then Personal Settings.

5. Click API Keys.

6. Click Create new key.

   https://github.com

   

7. Give it a name, like "Local Dev".

8. Copy your key - you won't be able to see it again!

9. In a terminal, run:

   rover config auth

   Copy

   Then paste in your API key (you won't be able to see it physically in the terminal).

10. To check if it worked, run:

    rover config whoami

    Copy

    And you should see your profile information displayed. You're all set!

1. Click the button below to start the deploy process ⬇️

   

2. Click Deploy now.

   https://railway.app

   

3. Fill in your repository details: where to clone the repo in your GitHub account and what to name it.

   https://railway.app

   

4. Railway automatically triggers a new deployment of our app. And after a few minutes, we should see it worked!

   https://railway.app

   

5. Now we want to query our server at a public URL on the internet. Go to your app's Settings tab, and click the Generate Domain button under the Domains header.

   https://railway.app

   

6. This will automatically create our production URL. After a few minutes, you should see a page showing that your server is ready to query.

   https://railway.app

   

1. To find the repo, head over to your Railway app's Settings, scroll down to Service and find the Source repo link.

   https://railway.app

   

2. Click the link to find your copy of the GitHub repo.

3. Clone the repo to your local environment.

4. Open it up in your code editor.

5. Run npm install in a terminal.

6. Run npm run dev. This starts up the server in development mode, which means changes you make in your files will automatically restart the server. If all goes well, when you open up http://localhost:4001, you should see Sandbox Explorer! Feel free to play around with the schema if you're curious, but we'll go over it at the workshop!
