Last week we hosted the Federation Dinner Series in San Francisco. Thanks to everyone who came!
We kicked things off with icebreakers, and turns out the federation crowd includes sailors and skydivers, which kind of makes sense. Then people shared what they're wrestling with as AI reshapes their work, and the answers were all over the map. No two people had the same problem, which was probably the most useful part of the night.
The next one's coming. We'll share details soon.

skip the pitch deck. just demo it 🎤
last thursday we hosted AI Agents in Prod in SF. workshops, demos, and the kind of room that drives you towards more.
a control plane that maps the blast radius of every ai code change. a music studio controlled by voice. security agents that reproduce exploits in sandboxes.
turns out sf builders don't mess around.
get a glimpse of the winner projects👇

Tesler's Law of Conservation of Complexity: every application has an inherent amount of irreducible complexity.
The question is who will have to deal with it. Not if. Who?

MCP with one broad OAuth scope breaks least privilege. Scopes should be enforced per tool, derived from the schema, not flattened at the server.

Federation composes subgraphs into a supergraph. Fission flips it.
You design the supergraph first, assign fields to subgraphs, and the system derives the required schemas and dependencies.

Agents don’t integrate APIs like humans.
They can’t read docs or SDKs. They have to discover capabilities.
This post touches on why we believe GraphQL is the layer Agents need.

We’re collecting info on how teams adopt, operate, and scale federation in production. It takes 5–10 minutes to complete, you get early access to the full report, and we’ll donate $30 to UNICEF for every valid response.
The goal is to build a clear, vendor-neutral view of what’s working, what’s breaking, and how AI is changing the shape of these systems. Take the survey:

Their graph composed fine, but days of implementation work stretched into weeks, because ownership was unclear and coordination required multiple meetings
Read about how Hub changed their approach.

Federation's core operation is composition: take many subgraph schemas, merge them into one supergraph.
Many to one
Fission does the inverse: take one supergraph design, decompose it into subgraph responsibilities.
One to many

Agents need to discover capabilities, navigate structure, and execute within tight context limits.
Our argument: GraphQL’s typed, navigable schema and a federated supergraph match that model.

Cosmo Router Cost Control estimates query cost at planning time and can block expensive requests before execution.
Measuring Mode records estimated cost without rejecting.
Enforcing Mode rejects over-limit queries before execution.

GraphQL Federation doesn’t remove coupling.
It makes it explicit.
@requires won’t fix temporal dependency, the router still needs upstream services.
But instead of hidden HTTP calls, dependencies live in the schema, visible in query plans and validated at build time.

Introducing WunderGraph Hub 🚀
Hub is a collaborative workspace for GraphQL Federation, and it reimagines the traditional workflow by flipping it on its head:
Instead of starting with subgraphs and stitching them together later (bottom-up),
you start with what the API consumer actually needs (top-down).
API design moves from scattered Jira/Linear tickets, Figma screenshots, and endless alignment meetings onto one powerful canvas.
Governance is built into the platform, allowing you to ship faster than ever before... safely.
It’s the missing coordination layer for GraphQL Federation, built for high-velocity teams scaling in the age of AI.

Automation can improve efficiency, but it can’t replace empathy.
