What is Federated Graph Gateway?
Graph Gateway turns multiple REST/OpenAPI services into one secure GraphQL API. Upload specs, pick fields, and go. Built-in auth, tracing with Jaeger, and AI assist (beta): natural-language to GraphQL queries like “show paid orders > $50.
Problem
Users need to manage multiple REST/OpenAPI services separately, leading to manual integration efforts, fragmented query interfaces, and inconsistent security protocols across different APIs.
Solution
A GraphQL gateway tool that federates REST/OpenAPI services into a single GraphQL API. Users can upload API specs, select fields, and instantly generate a unified endpoint with built-in authentication, Jaeger tracing, and AI assist (beta) for natural-language-to-GraphQL queries.
Customers
Backend engineers, API developers, and DevOps teams managing microservices architectures requiring streamlined API aggregation and query simplification.
Unique Features
AI-powered natural-language-to-GraphQL conversion (beta), automated federation of REST APIs into a single GraphQL endpoint, and integrated Jaeger tracing for observability.
