About Apollo GraphQL
Apollo GraphOS is a commercial platform for building and running a unified graph over the APIs and services a company already has. It is built around GraphQL and offers tools for schema design, performance and access control.
What it does
Teams connect their services into one graph, so clients can query related data through a single endpoint. Federation lets separate teams own their own parts of the schema. The platform adds monitoring, performance features and access policies for requests that pass through the graph.
Key features
- Federation to combine services into one graph
- Access policies on requests and consumers
- Low-latency access to critical systems
- Observability across traffic to the graph
- Discovery of available services and capabilities
Who it's for
Larger companies with many services and several teams who want one consistent way to expose data. Platform engineers who run shared APIs will find the governance features most useful.
Pricing and good to know
The site offers a free start, and larger deployments are arranged through the sales team. Apollo also maintains open source GraphQL server libraries, which are separate from the hosted platform. Compare the enterprise features with your own needs before you commit.
