## AI overview

Apollo describes its internal migration from Apollo Gateway to Apollo Router for the Apollo Studio graph across development, staging, and production. The article discusses configuration, custom extensions, container and Helm-based deployment, and expected improvements in resilience, scalability, responsiveness, and resource consumption.

## Source excerpt

Apollo doesn't just build Federation - we use it internally as well. Like many of our customers, we recently upgraded a fleet of Apollo Gateway instances to Apollo Router. This fleet ran the superschema for our "Apollo Studio" graph in multiple variants: development, staging, and production. Our team recently upgraded to the Apollo Router with very positive results which we'd like to share alongside some helpful tips.
