The text discusses the shift from monolithic to federated architectures in software development, with a focus on GraphQL. Federated architectures offer modularity, scalability, and maintainability, addressing the limitations of traditional monolithic systems. By dividing the schema into smaller subgraphs, developers can work independently, speed up development, and simplify maintenance. This approach also optimizes performance by minimizing data over-fetching and enables seamless scalability. The text highlights notable adoptions of Federated GraphQL in large-scale applications and notes its suitability for high-traffic and complex systems. While migration to Federated GraphQL requires planning and expert guidance, its popularity continues to grow, indicating a positive outlook for its future adoption.
