Building a distributed graph w/ Apollo Federation
summary
Demonstrates using Apollo Federation to turn one GraphQL schema into three runnable microservices and an Apollo gateway, with live coding that actually splits the demo into split schema into customers coffees orders endpoints, wires a gateway to aggregate them, and fixes a break by adding add @key and __resolveReference plus the external directive where needed. Shows the tiny server glue code required, a working demo after one missing key, and links to the demo repo and docs.
