Introducing Hive Gateway

TL;DR We release Hive Gateway v1.0.0, a new GraphQL Federation Gateway that seamlessly integrates with the Hive Schema Registry. Check out our new Gateway documentation.

Hive Gateway is our fully open source and MIT-licensed GraphQL Gateway with native support for GraphQL Federation.

Hive Gateway is built on top of our existing and widely used open-source packages such as GraphQL Yoga and GraphQL Tools.

With Hive Gateway you get access to the following features, that are currently behind a paywall in other gateway/router solutions.

• GraphQL Subscriptions
• Persisted Documents
• GraphQL API Usage and Analytics Reporting
• Authentication and Authorization
• Role-based Access Control
• Observability with Open Telemetry and Prometheus

We don’t believe in gatekeeping essential features, and want to make them accessible to everyone.
