Federating the Content Layer with GraphQL & Hygraph
summary
Hygraph announces remote sources, a concrete federation feature that connects arbitrary REST or GraphQL backends (examples: GitHub, Shopify) into the CMS schema so marketing content and product data link without duplication. Developers get one GraphQL API that returns product inventory from Shopify plus rich marketing fields from the CMS in a single query; Hygraph handles configuration, caching and auth. Positioning is explicit: a low‑code SaaS alternative to Apollo/graphql‑mesh and custom middleware called a Federated content platform.
