Course details
This comprehensive course is designed for developers to learn about Apollo GraphQL and its ecosystem. Discover how to use Apollo Federation to build a scalable and modular GraphQL API, and explore tools provided by Apollo, such as the Rover CLI and GraphOS Studio, to manage your schema efficiently. Dive into setting up and managing federated schemas with managed federation, handling subgraph challenges, and publishing schemas without breaking changes. Gain insights into federation directives, learning how to share types across subgraphs, create entity types, and write entity resolvers. Enhance your skills in advanced Apollo features like creating mutations, modeling errors within your schemas, and applying directives like @defer and @stream to improve front-end performance. By the end of this course, you will be equipped to build, integrate, and maintain robust GraphQL APIs using various Apollo tools and practices.
