      The Orbital Query API allows developers to submit TaxiQL queries to the Orbital data gateway for integrating,
      transforming, and discovering data across APIs, databases, event streams, and other data sources. Queries are
      submitted to the /api/taxiql endpoint and results can be returned as JSON or streamed via Server-Sent Events. The
      API also provides endpoints for managing connections and caches.

      The Orbital Schema Management API provides endpoints for managing schemas, types, and data source definitions
      within an Orbital workspace. It allows developers to register, update, and remove Taxi schemas and type
      definitions that Orbital uses to understand the semantic relationships between data across connected services.
      Schemas can originate from OpenAPI specs, Protobuf definitions, database schemas, or Taxi projects.

  Orbital is a data gateway and integration platform that connects APIs, databases, event streams, and other data
  sources without requiring glue code or manual integration maintenance. The platform delivers self-repairing
  integrations through instant, on-the-fly orchestration that automatically adapts as APIs and schemas evolve,
  eliminating the need to write resolvers, generate API clients, or maintain YAML mapping files.
