## Documentation

[Apollo Federation](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/federation/) allows you to create a single graph from multiple GraphQL microservices—providing the convenience of a single GraphQL server for the frontend without the burden of a monolith on the backend.

[Apollo Router](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/router) is a high-performance entrypoint for your federated microservices packed with performance and security features.

This template lets you quickly deploy a router that you can point at your [Apollo GraphOS](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/graphos) account to immediately start building a federated "supergraph".
