Federating the Content Layer
summary
Argues that the CMS should evolve into a Federated content platform that wires together siloed sources so a single GraphQL layer can return data from multiple systems. Demonstrates a no‑code SaaS flow to map REST endpoints and expose them as GraphQL so one query hits many backends, claiming connectors can be live in five minutes. Current product stitches remote schemas, handles caching and performance; roadmap adds remote mutations and a transformation layer to reshape remote data.
