Hi there, I’m wondering if any of you all have initiated graphql queries to your supergraph endpoint from one of the underlying subgraphs.

For example, if there is a subgraph that already provides the domain data you need, but the front end teams want to create a subgraph that orchestrates that domain data to presentation fields.

I’m wondering what your experiences have been if you have taken this approach.

Do you find it common practice to call the super graph endpoint from a subgraph or see it as an anti-pattern?

This actually reminds me of an old post I saw on here: [Calls from Subgraph to Supergraph vs. Blackboard](https://community.apollographql.com/t/calls-from-subgraph-to-supergraph-vs-blackboard/6803)

Would love to hear your thoughts.

We’ve discussed this a few times on meetups. I’ll try to dig up the reference.
