Howdy everyone, just wanted to shoot the community a link to a blog post State Farm released about our first steps into Federated GraphQL. Would love for everyone to check it out and provide feedback or ask questions if they have any

Great writeup and a classic story of initial “Proof of Value”.
Our concept focused on modeling a policy retrieval system. This system allowed us to fetch policy details, agent details, claims details, and customer details all through a single supergraph. We ended up building 10 subgraphs that exposed 15 queries, 1 mutation, 63 types and 378 fields. Pages that would require multiple network requests to gather up the data they needed to paint a screen could now all be done with one call against our supergraph.
Note the difference between this and a very limited technical POC. They went after an important system, proved out the concept, but more importantly the value to the business and customer.
Well done @austinmehmetee2g and @undefined!
It’s been so rewarding to work with your team ,and watch this project grow to deliver impact and real value to State Farm’s platform and customers.
