## AI overview

Apollo announces managed federation, an update to its commercial platform that supports building, managing, and querying federated GraphQL graphs.

## Source excerpt

Just a few weeks ago, we released Apollo Federation -- our new open-source technology for composing multiple GraphQL services into a unified data graph. As James Baxley III explained in his blog post, federation is the essential architecture that lets organizations scale their GraphQL API from a single team to a shared asset serving the whole company. It enables multiple teams to collaborate on a shared graph without any fragile stitching code or heavyweight development processes.
