Distributed GraphQL APIs

on YouTube ↗56m

" summary

Shows a working distributed GraphQL approach that composes Hot Chocolate Fusion subgraphs into a Gateway without restarting, merging overlapping types so a single request often hits one downstream service instead of many, and batching IDs for followups. Demo uses Banana Cake Pop IDE, Aspire for orchestration, OpenTelemetry for profile guided query plan rollout, supports subscriptions and hot reload, and is already running in production at a large Swiss retailer while the composite schema spec remains stage zero.
