Beyond Apollo Federation - How to use Composite Schemas and Extensions to integrate non-GraphQL data sources
Integrate non-GraphQL data sources like REST APIs and gRPC services with Composite Schemas as Grafbase Extensions
Extend REST and gRPC APIs with GraphQL using Grafbase
Learn how to expose gRPC and REST services as GraphQL subgraphs using Grafbase without rewriting or proxying your existing systems.
What are MCP Servers and how does Grafbase support them?
Learn how MCP servers enable AI models to access real-time data directly through GraphQL APIs, and discover how Grafbase enables scalable MCP-ready architectures.
Building for speed: How GraphQL Federation enables high-velocity teams
Learn how GraphQL Federation removes team coordination bottlenecks, enabling faster delivery by decentralizing schema ownership while maintaining a unified API. Discover how this approach increases team autonomy and accelerates product development.
