Apollo Federation allows you to orchestrate different GraphQL services into a single GraphQL gateway. In this playlist, we'll introduce you to the core concepts of Apollo Federation to get you started by improving an example app for Snowtooth Mountain.
The lift ops team has created a Lift service that provides lift status reporting for skiers and the ability to change the lift status for ski patrollers. The mountain ops team has created their own service to report on Trail status. These are completely separate GraphQL APIs, and we'll turn them into federated APIs that work under one gateway.
I started skiing when I was 2 years old, I started writing code when I was 8 years old. To this day, my life has been dominated by skiing and writing code. I built my first website in 1995, taught my first JavaScript class in 2000, started my first consulting company in 2003, and moved to Tahoe City in 2012. Today, the web is more exciting than it has ever been. I am stoked about GraphQL, React, Node… and I want to share this excitement with as many people as possible.
