axolotl-federation

To merge multiple GraphQL schemas in a monorepo, use build-time schema merging via axolotl.json combined with runtime resolver merging through mergeAxolotls. This composes domain modules into a single type-safe supergraph.

GraphQL micro-federation composes multiple domain modules into a single type-safe supergraph. You need it for large monorepos with several domain modules like auth, users, and posts coexisting in one service to reduce cross-module conflicts.

Yes, you can centralize authentication across modular GraphQL schemas using an auth gateway pattern. This centralizes authentication while supporting cross-module dependencies and shared gateway types across your modules.

You can configure per-module GraphQL definitions in a monorepo by providing a per-module axolotl.ts file. This allows each domain module to define its own schema and resolvers before the build-time merge.

Yes, Axolotl supports cross-module dependencies and shared types across modules. It enables shared gateway types and intelligent resolver merging to unify results without duplicate gateway resolvers.

The best way to eliminate duplicate gateway resolvers is using micro-federation patterns with mergeAxolotls for runtime resolver merging. This unifies results and reduces cross-module conflicts in a single type-safe supergraph.
