Workshop
Federation from Day One
Join us on-demand for a two-hour, hands-on workshop that will provide an introduction to Apollo Federation. To explore these concepts, you will build a federated graph for a new greenfield app called “FlyBy” consisting of two subgraph services, an Apollo Gateway, and a client application. You will also have the opportunity to try out managed federation with Apollo Studio and the Rover CLI.
Required skills and understanding (if applicable):
- Some experience building back-end services with Node.js
- Some experience with GraphQL and Apollo Server (e.g. completing the Apollo Graph Developer – Associate certification)
