New to the Apollo Router? You’re in the right place. This space is dedicated to helping you take your first steps with Apollo’s high-performance, Rust-based runtime for executing your supergraph.
What this category is for:
Ask your questions and get support on topics like:
- Installing and configuring Apollo Router for the first time
- Migrating from Apollo Gateway
- Connecting to GraphOS and fetching your supergraph schema
- Setting up your first local or production Router deployment
- Understanding core config options, YAML files, and plugins
Whether you’re spinning up a test environment or deploying your first Router instance to production—this category is here to support you.
Before you post:
- Let us know what you’ve tried so far (e.g. docs followed, config setup)
- Share specific errors, logs, or unexpected behavior you’re seeing
- Include environment details if relevant (local, cloud, CI/CD, etc.)
There’s no such thing as a “basic” question here—if you’re stuck, chances are someone else is too.
We’re learning from you
Posts in this category help us spot friction, improve documentation, and shape onboarding experiences. So please ask away—your feedback has real impact.
