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 gate-keeping essential features, and want to make them accessible to everyone.

To get started check out or new updated getting started guide for Apollo Federation or immediately dive into our new gateway documentation.
