Product Updates

Hive Router now supports the Federation `@policy` directive, letting a coprocessor decide authorization rules the router can't evaluate on its own.

Use `@context` and `@fromContext` to pass data to nested fields without exposing extra arguments

Create Hive App Deployments directly from Apollo persisted query manifest files without converting them to another format.

Hive schema checks can now compare a merge queue entry against its base commit, isolating the schema changes introduced by the current pull request.

Hive Router now multiplexes subscriptions over shared, pooled WebSocket connections to subgraphs instead of opening one connection per subscription, and can optionally route queries and mutations over that same pool.

Provision users and groups from your identity provider and manage their Hive access through group-based role mappings.

Hive Router now emits a single structured summary per request, correlates every log line with a request ID and trace ID, and lets you filter or mute individual subsystems.

Hive Router now masks subgraph errors by default, preventing internal details from leaking to clients while keeping the original errors in your logs and traces.

Watch traffic, error rate, and latency on any target and get paged in Slack, MS Teams, or a webhook the moment a threshold breaches.

Hive adds oneOf directive support added natively to Hive schema composition. No composeDirective required!

Hive Router can now forward the `extensions` returned by your subgraphs to the final client response, with control over which keys propagate and how values from multiple subgraphs are merged.

Hive Router now protects your federated graph from expensive operations with cost-based demand control, enforcing per-operation and per-subgraph budgets before execution.

Hive Router now ships with a built-in circuit breaker for subgraph execution that fails fast on unhealthy subgraphs, with global and per-subgraph configuration, OpenTelemetry metrics, and tracing.

Hive Console now supports schema version promotions and rollbacks through a new CLI command, enabling safer multi-environment workflows, fast production rollbacks, and improved visibility into subgraph-level changes.

Hive Router can now load the supergraph schema and the persisted documents manifest directly from Amazon S3 or any S3-compatible service (Cloudflare R2, MinIO, LocalStack, and more).

Coprocessors are now available in Hive Router - external HTTP services that can inspect, mutate, and short-circuit requests at multiple router and GraphQL lifecycle stages.

Hive Router has the first-class TLS and mTLS support for both inbound and outbound connections, alongside end-to-end HTTP/2 with optional h2c for subgraph traffic.

Persisted documents in Hive Router with configurable ID selectors, file and Hive CDN storage, and allowlist enforcement options.

Hive Router now supports production-ready OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics, including OTLP export and Prometheus scraping.

Hive Router now supports federated GraphQL subscriptions with full protocol coverage - SSE, WebSockets, Multipart HTTP, Incremental Delivery, and HTTP Callback.

Stricter validation for authorization and demand controls directives in GraphQL federation schemas.

Unleash blazing-fast GraphQL federation with up to 3x performance boost and full audit compatibility.

Select the default assigned resources for an invited user and newly signed-up OIDC users.

Gain more control over who can issue access tokens with personal and oproject access tokens.

Safer and controlled migrations with Progressive Override that allows gradual schema changes.

Documentation is hard. You have to strike a balance between what's useful and what's excessive; and organize it in a way that is equally clear and easy to search.

You can now automate finding deprecated fields and unused schema parts via the Hive Console GraphQL API.

A progress update on a much awaited feature -- Schema Proposals!

Hive Console now has an official public API powered by GraphQL

Improvements to Hive's breaking change detection to make it easier and safer to migrate schemas.

Make schema changes safer with this simple opt-in setting.

Enhance security and access management in Hive Console with organization-level access tokens. Learn about granular permissions, migration from registry access tokens, and upcoming API integrations.

One of the most convincing reasons to use GraphQL that it's self documenting. The `@meta` directive takes this a step further by defining a convenient and type safe way to add key-value metadata to your schema.

We improved the permission system to allow more granular permission assignment including role-based access control on a project level.

We've added a logs panel in Laboratory to make debugging and tracking preflight script execution easier.

When a new member signs in via OIDC, they'll now be automatically assigned the default role configured by your organization.

A minor improvement to our conditional breaking changes behavior that allows changes to be considered breaking based on a minimum number of requests.

Track actions within your organization.

Populate headers with environment variables and automate authentication flows for GraphQL requests.

App Deployments feature is now available for Apollo Router. Learn how to use and how it can improve your GraphQL API.

We've published the Hive Plugin for Apollo-Router on Crates.io. Learn how to use it in your custom Apollo-Router projects.

The stable build of Apollo Router with Hive plugin is now available. Learn how to integrate it with your Federation projects.

We've moved repositories and Docker images to the `graphql-hive` organization on GitHub. See what's changed and how to update your setup.

We've introduced versioned Docker images for Hive, making it easier to manage and self-host. See where to find the latest updates.

Announcing the new GraphQL Federation Gateway that seamlessly integrates with the Hive Schema Registry.

Secure your GraphQL API and reduce upstream traffic by persisting documents through app deployments.

Restrict organization access to OIDC users and improved sign-in flow.

MS Teams webhooks to receive alerts and notifications from Hive.

Organization admins can now live debug OpenID Connect logs in the Hive Dashboard.
