GraphQL: everything you want in one query
summary
Apollo presents a concrete claim: build a global supergraph by composing modular subgraphs with entities and Federation so unrelated teams or companies can link and extend types without rewriting schemas. The demo shows an airline subgraph linked to a travel subgraph so flight status, gate and carbon offsets resolve in one query, fetched in parallel and optionally defered. The result is a distributed data layer that actually composes cross‑service queries and avoids schema bloat.
