Session description
GraphQL is evolving — and with the new Composite Schema Specification, building distributed GraphQL systems has never been more standardized, flexible, and interoperable.
In this workshop, we'll dive into the core principles behind the Composite Schema Specification and demonstrate how they enable modular, scalable GraphQL architectures across teams and services. Whether you're coming from Node.js, Java, .NET, or any other stack — this specification is designed to work with you, not against you.
At the heart of this new standard is a powerful idea: composing GraphQL APIs in a strongly typed way. No more hidden fields. No more untyped extensions or brittle conventions.
You'll learn how to:
- Design and build a distributed GraphQL system using the Composite Schema Specification
- Compose services with clear ownership and type-safe contracts
- Evolve your composite schema over time without breaking a sweat
- Solve real-world challenges like shared types, or auth propagation
- Operate composed schemas with observability, continuous integration, and confidence
Whether you're building from scratch or evolving an existing monolith, this workshop will equip you with the tools and mental models to harness composition — the right way.
