@bignimbus is attempting to deploy a commit to the The GraphQL Foundation Team on Vercel.

A member of the Team first needs to authorize it.


In 2019, Apollo introduced GraphQL Federation as a way of splitting the task of building a GraphQL schema along team boundaries. It proposed a compelling alternative to prior techniques such as schema stitching and delegation, focussing on addressing the collaboration problems inherent in building a coherent schema within a large organization. Federation clearly filled a need and was adopted widely by platform engineers and API developers, a compelling way to compose microservices into a single access layer while retaining service boundaries and team ownership. Solutions from other vendors arose, tackling the same problems in similar ways but with different trade-offs, and some of the world’s largest enterprises have adopted these various patterns and are betting on GraphQL to solve some of their biggest pain points.

Adopting this style of collaboration has become a standard way of creating API platforms, with wide support from an array of vendors. Common patterns and best practices have been established around the various implementations and the underlying architecture has proven effective at scale. Today there are many approaches to collaborative GraphQL schema design, requiring different ways of defining the underlying schemas and composing the resulting architecture; for example Federation and Fusion take a … approach, whereas Mesh and Hasura take a … approach. API architects are having to make hard decisions early on in their projects, deciding which of the many patterns to follow.

This looks great to me; just needs Hasura sign-off 👍

@benjie or @dimaMachina - the Vercel check isn't passing, but is this OK to merge?
