Looking for Spring GraphQL Gateway federation stack

[ptvinhtech13]

Hello everyone! I had a few experienced time to use GraphQL. Currently, I'm looking for the native support from Spring GraphQL Gateway federation stack for microservices architecture. I'm trying to look into market and realized the current graphql federation stack are not written by java, especially by the Spring support (Please correct if'm wrong). For this issue, I hope I could get an advice or suggestion technical stack to build microservices using GraphQL federation gateway, that was perfect to adopt DGS or Spring GraphQL as a primary framework.
Thanks for checking out!
Hope the best for you all!

Spring for GraphQL is not a federation gateway and we have no plans at this time to implement this product.
We do support federation pattern with the federation-jvm library. See https://docs.spring.io/spring-graphql/reference/federation.html

Have you tried this approach? Have you found limitations with it?

@bclozel thanks for info from team with the Graphql gateway plans! I'll try with this approach

Hi, @bclozel if we want to implement a federation gateway, do we need to run it separately, like on an Apollo Server with Node.js? I currently have a Spring Cloud Gateway in front of all my microservices (GraphQL APIs) and would like to implement API composition at gateway level. After some research, I found GraphQL Federation, but I'm not sure how to implement it in a Spring Boot context. Could you provide guidance?
