Build a GraphQL API Gateway the Hard Way
summary
Demo and roadmap for GraphOS Cloud Dedicated: a fully managed, always-on Apollo router fleet that runs in your AWS region (US East 1, EU West 1, East Central 1), uses AWS VPC Lattice for zero‑trust connectivity, and exposes a Terraform module for provisioning. Capacity is sold as GCUs with tested throughput (about 25 supergraph RPS, ~150 subgraph fetches/sec, 0.5 MB responses per GCU); it is HA across two AZs, supports federated subscriptions, co‑processors, JWT validation, Datadog/OpenTelemetry, and returns 429 when GCUs are exhausted.
