## AI overview

Apollo introduces the Supergraph Architecture Framework (SAF), an assessment based on the Apollo Solutions Architecture team's experience with enterprise organizations. It covers operational excellence, security, reliability, performance, and developer efficiency to help teams evaluate and improve GraphQL supergraphs in production.

## Source excerpt

Building a scalable and effective enterprise supergraph is challenging, and often feels like there are countless numbers of ways to approach the challenges that arise without evidence of efficacy. Companies searching the GraphQL community for recommendations leads to a lack of consistency across the industry and doing things that may prove to be ineffective, thus requiring changes later down the line.
