Add chapter to readme that will explain the difference between Apollo Federation

Open wtrocki opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

GraphQL-Link is not competing with Apollo Federation which is complete gateway and host solution to agregate multiple objects during develoonent time. Federation would have much more features and be more suited as dev tool, where what we do here is just gql proxy

Link will have some overlap with Federation but it is mostly focused on gateway and proxying requests.

I think we need to have separate file in the docs rather than readme.

I am little confused , I have to add differences between Apollo Federation and GraphQl ?

@wtrocki For this issue Do we need to add a link to the Apollo Federation in Readme which would show the difference between GraphQL-Link and Apollo Federation ?

@pankaj892 link will show difference? Does Apollo federation have page that compares grapqhl-link?

No Apollo Federation has pages that show about gateway and an example and also about its architecture and other stuff. I am asking about do we need to list out differences between graphql-link and Apollo federation seperately in readme?
