Apollo GraphOS Platform

GraphOS Studio is part of the broader Apollo GraphOS platform, which is an industry-standard platform for API orchestration. Apollo GraphOS provides a unified environment for building, managing, and scaling GraphQL APIs, whether you’re working with a single service or a distributed supergraph.

The platform includes two main components:

• GraphOS Studio : A cloud-based management plane.
• GraphOS Router : A high-performance runtime plane.

Key features of the Apollo GraphOS platform include:

• Schema Management: Develop and deploy schema changes safely using tools like schema checks and proposals. This integrates seamlessly into DevOps workflows .
• Graph Security: Protect your graph with best practices like safelisting, operation limits, and fine-grained access controls .
• Metrics and Insights: Monitor your graph’s health and performance with detailed analytics on operation usage, error rates, and latency .
• Federation Support: Apollo Federation allows you to design a unified graph even with distributed teams and services, making it easier to scale .

The platform supports flexible hosting options, including cloud and hybrid deployments, allowing teams to choose the setup that best fits their needs . For beginners, this means you can start with a free cloud plan and later move to a self-hosted router if required.
