GraphQL is a query language that allows users to find and request data from servers in a way that they can specify the type of data they want through the API in a more precise way than through other types of API structures. A federated GraphQL platform allows for different sub-GraphQL schemas to be used in a decoupled way but through a single API interface of the GraphQL platform. They both have and will continue to become enormously popular.
Statistics recently released by the Gartner report reveal how more than 60% of enterprises will use GraphQL in production, up from less than 30% in 2024. By 2027, 30% of enterprises using GraphQL will use GraphQL federation, up from less than 5% in 2024, Gartner reported.
So, federated GraphQL adoption will, according to Gartner, increase fivefold during the next three years while GraphQL adoption will “only” double.
