The Supergraph Manifesto is a critical resource for GraphQL platform architects. It provides essential strategies, ready-to-use tactics, reference architecture & schema, and an operating model for fostering shared ownership of subgraphs across teams.

This manifesto has

• • Core strategy for platforms architects, subgraph owners and API consumers to effectively collaborate
• • Reference architecture for quick and efficient onboarding of domain sources into a new or existing supergraph
• • Design principles and a reference GraphQL schema for a standardized Supergraph API
• • New GraphQL design language to express API quality (standardization and composition)
• • A checklist to evaluate supergraph tools & architecture quality
