The Cache Warmer is an optimization feature designed to enhance GraphQL Federation performance by precomputing query plans and storing them in the cache. This proactive caching mechanism reduces latency spikes caused by cold starts and ensures that high-traffic applications can handle demand surges without performance degradation.

Documentation for Open Federation Directives.

Directives

An index of directives supported by WunderGraph Cosmo.

Federation Directives Reference

@shareable is a federation V2-only directive. Examples and usages are outlined herein.

@shareable

The @authenticated directive declares a GraphQL definition to require the agent (person, service, or device) to be authenticated. Lack of authentication will yield an authorization error.

@authenticated

The @requiresScopes directive declares a GraphQL definition to require the agent (person, service, or device) to possess certain permissions. Lack of permissions will yield an authorization error.

@requiresScopes

@openfed__subscriptionFilter is an Open Federation directive used to filter subscription events based on filter predicates.

@openfed subscriptionFilter

The @openfed__configureDescription directive allows granular control over descriptions. It is not considered to be a V2-only directive.

@openfed configureDescription

Event-Driven Federated Subscriptions

NATS

Kafka

The Event-Driven Graph (or EDG) is an "abstract" subgraph, so it must not define any resolvers. EDGs are also subject to special compositional rules.

Composition Rules

The cosmo CLI tool: wgc. Used to manage the cosmo platform e.g. pushing schema, checking schemas, creating new projects, managing users, etc. It interacts with the control plane.

Cosmo CLI

Please read through this to have a better understanding of the nuances that take place when executing commands which we will cover in the upcoming pages.

Essentials

API Keys are required to perform any of the **wgc** CLI commands. To create an API key, follow the steps shown [here](/studio/api-keys).

API Keys

Commands to manage namespaces within the organization

Namespace

Creates a namespace for the organization on the control plane

Create

Delete

Rename an existing namespace within the organization

Rename

List all namespaces within the organization

List

Subgraphs are the building blocks of a federated graph. Each subgraph in a Federated GrapQL Architecture is responsible for defining its own part of the schema and handling the corresponding queries.

Subgraph

Creates a federated subgraph on the control plane.

Publishes a subgraph on the control plane. Optionally, you can publish and create a subgraph in one step.

Publish

Checks for breaking changes and composition errors for all the connected federated graphs.

Check

Updates subgraph metadata like URL, labels on the control plane.

Update

Deletes a subgraph on the control plane. The subgraph will be deleted from all federated graphs.

Fetches the latest published SDL of a subgraph. If the federated graph is specified, the latest successfully composed version of the subgraph will be fetched.

Fetch

Move a subgraph into a different namespace

Move

Introspect

Checks for composition errors across all connected federated graphs and tries to fix them through OpenAI integration.

A federated graph refers to a single, unified data graph that is composed of multiple subgraphs.

Federated Graph

Creates a federated graph on the control plane.

Checks for composition errors and presents a list of subgraphs that constitute the new federated graph.

Updates a federated graph on the control plane.

Deletes a federated graph on the control plane.

Fetches the latest valid SDL of a federated graph and all its subgraphs and the latest valid router config of a federated graph.

Fetches the latest valid SDL of a federated graph. The output can be piped to a file. This is primarily used for debugging purposes

Fetch-Schema

Retrieves the changelog for a federated graph

Changelog

A monograph refers to a graph with GraphQL Federation disabled and is limited to a single subgraph.

Monograph

Creates a monograph on the control plane.

Publishes a monograph on the control plane.

Updates monograph metadata like URL, subscription configuration and more on the control plane.

Checks for breaking changes and composition errors in the proposed schema for the monograph.

Deletes a monograph on the control plane.

Moves the monograph from one namespace to another.

Fetches the latest valid SDL of a monograph. The output can be piped to a file. This is primarily used for debugging purposes

Fetch Schema

Converts the monograph into a federated graph. Once done you can update label matchers and labels to compose with more graphs in your organization.

Migrate

Router

Fetches the latest valid router execution config of a federated graph.

Compose generates the router execution config locally from your subgraphs. The config can be used to start your router with a pre-built router config.

Compose

Download-binary directly downloads the latest router executable of the appropriate architecture for your system.

Auth

Login a user into the Cosmo platform. Supports browser-based authentication.

Login

Displays the identity currently authenticated and in use.

Schema contracts helps you provide filtered out versions of your composed graph to different customers.

Creates a contract from a federated graph or monograph.

This command updates the tag filters for the contract. To update other aspects of the contract graph please use the federated-graph or monograph update commands.

This page provides top level information about your federated graph at a glance.

Overview Page

An interactive explorer to navigate though your federated graph schema. It has built in search and usage tracking for every type in your schema

Schema Explorer

This page presents the current state of your federated graph's schema and the schema of all its subgraphs.

Schema Registry

Validate schema changes before deploying them to production. Ship breaking changes safely through operation checks.

Schema Checks

Schema Contracts enable you to build a multi-purpose, multi-audience graph, which can be split into subsets for different use cases. This simplifies development and keeps your graph maintainable.

Override the result of breaking changes in schema checks for individual operations which you deem are safe. Overrides are active across all graphs in a namespace.

Overrides

This page provides you with a detailed history of all schema changes made to your federated graph, including both additions and deletions.
