At the moment Apollo offers a new ‘Apollo Router’ apart from the Apollo Gateway. It’s meant to substitute the Gateway. The Router is written in Rust while the Gateway was a Node.js server.
That is interesting. So router is recommended ?
Yes, it’s what they have said is their main ‘gateway’ now. They still maintain the old one for the time being. Their Rust Router is more performant. They are into Rust a lot - their CLI (rover) is also written in Rust.
