Distributed GraphQL APIs: Breaking Down Monoliths & Unlocking Agility for Dev Teams

on YouTube ↗50m

" summary

Claims a practical solution for splitting a GraphQL monolith into composed subgraphs using the open composite schema spec (MIT) and the Hot Chocolate Fusion Gateway, with live demo of accounts, reviews, products and shipping services composed at build time and hot‑reloaded at runtime. Composition enforces compile‑time merge errors, supports subscriptions and partial results, collects telemetry for profile‑guided query planning, runs mixed runtimes (Node/.NET) and targets teams scaling past 90 developers.
