Schema Stitching

Schema Stitching is a GraphQL technique for combining multiple GraphQL schemas into a single unified API gateway. The @graphql-tools/stitch package creates a combined proxy layer that delegates requests through to underlying service APIs, supporting type merging, stitching directives, and automated query planning comparable to Apollo Federation.
