GraphOS recently launched its summer 2024 event, announcing new features designed to improve GraphQL platform performance and operational excellence. The new capabilities focus on improving how API teams implement and optimize GraphQL federation, providing faster baseline performance and greater control over API request execution in a supergraph. GraphOS adoption is at an inflection point, with Gartner predicting that 30% of enterprises using GraphQL will utilize federated architectures by 2027. Apollo Federation is a specification for modularly mapping existing services into a unified GraphQL API access layer, empowering teams to provide client applications with self-serve access to services through a single GraphQL endpoint. The Operational Excellence pillar focuses on ensuring the supergraph is easy to use, understand, and maintain, with new features such as query batching, enhanced telemetry and insights, entity caching with per-subgraph TTL, and demand control being introduced. These features mark a significant step forward in how organizations can improve the operational excellence of their federated GraphQL architectures.
