Grow your supergraph safely and collaboratively with the newest tools from Apollo GraphOS. We'll play with schema proposals, schema checks, and some brand-new features; all through the lens of working within a large team.

What you'll learn

• The importance of a graph README for onboarding
• How to propose schema changes to an existing graph
• How to anticipate and analyze the impact of schema changes
• The supergraph development workflow, locally and within the context of working with a large team
• Federation-specific directives for schema evolution (@override, @shareable, @inaccessible) and team collaboration (@contact)

Clone the repo locally

1. Clone the repo

   git clone TODO

   Copy

2. Open it up in your code editor.

3. Run npm install in a terminal.

4. 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!
