From day one, Apollo has been about making APIs truly declarative—from the client to the schema and all the way through implementation. With Apollo Connectors, that vision now extends to REST APIs, allowing teams to orchestrate them using the same powerful federation technology that transformed GraphQL adoption.
Instead of writing and maintaining procedural glue code, Connectors let you declare your API integrations with just a few lines of configuration. That means less boilerplate, easier maintenance, and better scalability for your services.
This launch is the culmination of years of work, so I wanted to share the inside story behind the technical decisions and architectural principles and explain:
How Connectors let you think in entities rather than endpoints
How they simplify API composition and reduce glue code
How it’s all just GraphQL Federation under the hood!

I hope you enjoy learning about our journey, give Connectors a try, and share your thoughts with the community! Let’s discuss!
