Hi, Kate here! Grafbase is excited to announce the introduction of Federated Graphs, a significant enhancement to our GraphQL services. This update marks a pivotal shift from our traditional front-end focus to a broader, more enterprise-scale approach. Here's everything you need to know about this new feature launch.<p>Federation allows each independent subgraph to be stitched together into a unified graph that can be exposed to end users. The Federation gateway determines the most efficient query plan for every query, optimizing for resource use.<p>Additionally, Grafbase Federated Graphs have:<p>- Support for Federation V2 Spec: Aligned with the latest Federation specifications, our Federated Graphs ensure compatibility and performance at the highest level.
- High-Performance: Crafted in Rust, Federated Graphs offer exceptional performance and reliability, crucial for large-scale applications.
- Open Source and SDK Integration: Open source availability fosters community engagement and collaboration, while our SDK ensures easy deployment to Grafbase.
- Advanced Security and Efficiency: Robust authentication and edge caching mechanisms enhance both the security and efficiency of Federated Graphs.
- Full Stack Deployment on Grafbase: Grafbase supports the deployment of both Federated Graphs and Standalone Subgraphs, providing a comprehensive platform for all GraphQL needs.<p>For now, I'm just excited to share what Grafabse has been working on with the HN community. Would love to know what you guys think!
