⁠Overview

The Apollo GraphOS Operator is a Kubernetes-native operator for deploying and managing GraphQL federated architectures. It lets you define your GraphQL services (subgraphs) and compose them into a supergraph using Kubernetes resources.

The operator integrates with Apollo GraphOS and your existing Kubernetes workflows, deploys the GraphOS Router, automates schema publishing, composition, deployment, and monitoring.

This repository hosts the Helm Chart to install the Operator, while the Operator images are hosted here⁠ and here⁠.

⁠Benefits

• Declarative Management: Define subgraphs, supergraphs, and composition rules as Kubernetes resources.

• Flexible Workflows: Use Kubernetes manifests or Apollo Studio for management. Supports single-cluster, multi-cluster, and hybrid setups.

• Automated CI/CD: Automatically detects schema changes, triggers composition, and deploys updated supergraphs.

• Integrated Monitoring: Status and health are surfaced via Kubernetes events and resource statuses, compatible with tools like Datadog.

• Security Best Practices: Supports namespace-scoped RBAC, API key management, and secure deployment patterns.

⁠Installation
