## AI overview

Apollo Engine introduces a schema validation beta that compares GraphQL schemas with previous versions and observed API usage. It uses up to 90 days of historical client operations to identify changes that could break applications and support safer schema evolution.

## Source excerpt

GraphQL is a powerful and flexible way to expose data to client applications. It empowers application teams to describe the exact data they need for each feature without having to coordinate with a backend team. That flexiblity dramatically reduces the amount of code teams need to write and accelerates how quickly they can ship applications. But with that flexibility comes a need for management and control.
