What is Apollo GraphOS?
Apollo GraphOS enables backend teams to create a self-service, self-documenting graph capable of powering numerous applications. It allows for defining data once and delivering it anywhere, effectively eliminating accumulated technical debt from backends-for-frontends or experience APIs. GraphQL federation provides a secure, single source of truth for the data that drives your business.
The platform streamlines collaboration, improves application performance by reducing latency, and offers GraphQL-native metrics for issue diagnosis. Enterprise teams trust Apollo to unify their APIs into a single, discoverable, and reusable platform that adapts to any use case, allowing independent work, API reuse, and fast feature delivery.
