At last year’s GraphQL Summit, we learned why Netflix placed a “big bet” on GraphQL federation. We heard about Intuit’s measured rollout of Apollo Router. And we learned how federated subscriptions enable client teams to deliver real-time updates to their apps – no matter where that data is stored. This year’s GraphQL Summit is in New York City, and we expect an even better event this year.
After just five years, GraphQL federation is becoming a de facto skill to manage API complexity in distributed architectures. In fact, Gartner predicts that 30% of enterprises will incorporate GraphQL federation into their stacks within three years. This architecture didn’t just take off at digital-native companies like Netflix, PayPal, and Expedia. It’s now a critical part of the API programs across industries like retail, healthcare, CPG, automotive, and many others. Organizations like Major League Baseball and Volvo Cars chose GraphQL federation to help them deliver immersive, omni-channel, and feature-rich digital experiences at any scale.
So what do the next five years look like for federated graphs? How can larger organizations leverage this architecture to roll out the next generation of personalized, AI-driven applications? That’s the theme of this year’s GraphQL Summit on October 8-10.
