Moderate Setup (1-3 hours)

You can use Apollo GraphQL to combine multiple microservices and REST endpoints into a single unified data graph. The system allows your development teams to expose internal APIs to applications and autonomous agents safely. You can define exact data schemas, enforce field-level access control, and track usage across all backend systems. It also includes federation to let engineering teams deploy schema updates independently without breaking client queries, while offering monitoring tools to track latency, query frequency, and overall API health across your organization.
