Build a Crypto App Using GraphQL Federation

The text discusses GraphQL federation and its benefits, including scalability and flexibility for large, distributed architectures. It mentions how companies like Adobe and Netflix use GraphQL federation to improve their API systems. The author then introduces a workshop by Software Engineer Ania Kubów that teaches how to build a simple cryptocurrency application with GraphQL federation using free, open-source technologies such as DataStax Astra DB and GraphQL. The workshop covers creating a database, interacting with it using GraphQL, and federating data from multiple databases to populate the crypto dashboard. It also explains how Apollo Federation consolidates multiple GraphQL API services into one unified endpoint, making it easier to manage and scale enterprise-level graphs. Finally, the text encourages readers to sign up for a free Astra DB account and follow along with the workshop video on YouTube or explore more tutorials on DataStax Developers' YouTube channel.
