Apollo announced the launch of 'Supergraph' software, a new data management solution targeted at developers. The Supergraph receives its name from its primary function. The software compiles disparate data from multiple data sources in the back-end of a project and makes this large sample of data easier to digest for front-end developers. This means sources such as APIs will become much easier to manage.
Apollo stated that data management between front-end and back-end developers is an issue that consistently becomes harder to solve. As such, the company stressed that Supergraph is not simply a compilation solution, but also an added middle layer that acts as a data flow sorter. Supergraph was developed based on 'Federation 2,' which is software that runs on GraphQL, meaning Supergraph itself is also a GraphQL-based system.
