Apollo GraphQL has joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as a Silver member, solidifying its commitment to innovation and promoting the importance of GraphQL in platform engineering. This strategic alliance is reinforced by Apollo GraphOS, its flagship product that enables backend teams to build an API composition layer called a 'supergraph'. A supergraph provides a scalable composition layer for backend teams, enabling client teams to use a declarative query language to fetch required data, reducing cognitive load on product engineering teams. The company recently launched a centralized change management workflow for schema proposals and will be showcasing its platform at the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2024 conference.
