Sponsored Session: Federation, Reversed: A Consumer-First Future with Fission
summary
Claims a new algorithm, Fission, that starts from a designed supergraph and fissures the supergraph into services, producing service schemas that are guaranteed to compose. Implementation walks selection paths to produce valid provides field sets, auto-inserts external/provides where needed, and surfaces required ownership/governance when a field is shared. Demo uses WunderGraph Hub to allocate fields to subgraphs, show the provides/external directives added automatically, and demonstrates the approach working live for consumer-first federated APIs.
