The future of API is composability

The future of API is composability, as highlighted by Hasura Data Delivery Network (DDN) in beta. API composability refers to the flexibility of combining and reusing APIs or their endpoints to construct more elaborate services or applications. This concept is particularly relevant in microservice architectures and serverless computing, where services are designed to fulfill specific functions or a limited set of closely related tasks. Enhanced API composability elevates the level of self-serve composition capabilities while concurrently diminishing the need for manual API aggregation and composition. The supergraph architecture pattern offers an elegant approach to managing and orchestrating APIs, particularly in the context of GraphQL APIs. Aimed at backend engineers grappling with the complexities of data access and API integration, a supergraph serves as a federated operating model that enables teams to construct a self-serve platform for seamless data access and API composition. The true value of a supergraph lies in its inherent composability, which significantly diminishes the necessity for manual intervention in data integration and API orchestration.
