Apollo Router

Inigo distributes a custom build of the open-source Apollo Router that includes the Inigo Agent compiled an open-source Rust plugin. This distribution makes it easy to gain all of the observability, security, and Apollo Federation schema management of Inigo when using the open-source Apollo Router. The Inigo distribution of Apollo Router is available as a Docker image.

Note: Existing capabilities of the open-source Apollo Router code are not overridden or disabled by the Inigo Rust plugin. The Apollo Router is configured via input variables to achieve the desired behavior when used with Inigo.

Note: The Inigo distribution of Apollo Router can be freely deployed to your infrastructure per the terms of the Apollo Router Elastic License.
