Greetings GraphQL revolutionized modern API development by addressing issues in REST through a unified interface. While GraphQL is well-suited for building monolithic services, modern applications are often complex and developed using the microservices architecture. How can we harness GraphQL to provide a unified API in a microservices application? This is where GraphQL federation comes in to solve the problem.
