I want to resolve a two steps operation all on the server side of my Federation architecture.
Let’s say:
- Apollo federation set up as gateway
- service 1 saves data in database 1
- service 2 saves data in database 2
service 1 mutation resolver creates/save data in database 1 and returns a UUID;
once data is created i need to save that UUID as reference in database 2 (which requires calling the mutation resolver in service 2).
i want to solve all this in the server side.
the straight forward solution i can think of is:
- once data has been created in database 1, make an http request to service 2 (Axios or Apollo Client) from service 1. This http should create data in database 2 by calling the resolver from service 2.
Is there a better way to solve in Apollo Federation?
Thank you,
