Apollo Federation
-----------------

Apollo Federation is an architecture for declaratively composing APIs into a unified graph. Each team can own their slice of the graph independently, empowering them to deliver autonomously and incrementally.

Federation 2 is an evolution of the original Apollo Federation with an improved shared ownership model, enhanced type merging, and cleaner syntax for a smoother developer experience. It’s backwards compatible, requiring no major changes to your subgraphs.

Checkout the [Federation 2 docs](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/federation) and [demo repo](https://github.com/apollographql/supergraph-demo-fed2) to take it for a spin and [let us know what you think](https://community.apollographql.com/t/announcing-apollo-federation-2/1821)!

## Usage

This crate is internal to [Apollo Router](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/router/)
and not intended to be used directly.

## Crate versioning

The  `apollo-federation` crate does **not** adhere to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).
Any version may have breaking API changes, as this API is expected to only be used by `apollo-router`.
Instead, the version number matches exactly that of the `apollo-router` crate version using it.

This version number is **not** that of the Apollo Federation specification being implemented.
See the [Apollo Federation Changelog](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/graphos/schema-design/federated-schemas/reference/versions)
for which Federation versions are supported by which Router versions.
