⁠Overview

The Apollo GraphOS Operator is a Kubernetes-native operator for deploying and managing GraphQL federated architectures. It lets you define your GraphQL services (subgraphs) and compose them into a supergraph using Kubernetes resources.

The operator integrates with Apollo GraphOS and your existing Kubernetes workflows, deploys the GraphOS Router, automates schema publishing, composition, deployment, and monitoring.

⁠Benefits

• Declarative Management: Define subgraphs, supergraphs, and composition rules as Kubernetes resources.

• Flexible Workflows: Use Kubernetes manifests or Apollo Studio for management. Supports single-cluster, multi-cluster, and hybrid setups.

• Automated CI/CD: Automatically detects schema changes, triggers composition, and deploys updated supergraphs.

• Integrated Monitoring: Status and health are surfaced via Kubernetes events and resource statuses, compatible with tools like Datadog.

• Security Best Practices: Supports namespace-scoped RBAC, API key management, and secure deployment patterns.
