Federation as separate projects?

[omar-dulaimi]

Hello,

Is it possible to divide a large schema to many smaller parts(projects) and connect them using federation?

I'm thinking of this to avoid running into issues caused by big schemas when generating their types, inputs, etc.

@MichalLytek I have seen that before. But I asked because I'm not sure if it's possible to divide the schema into multiple projects(not the same project with a port for each schema). I'm trying to make the integration with prisma generate smaller and more manageable number of files since each schema will live in a different project(different repo even).

Have you tried that before asking the question? 🤔 It's "the same project with a port for each schema" to simulate multiple ports and multiple machines. They do not share decorated types nor resolvers.

I honestly have not, and I appreciate your patience and time. I'll give it a try and see.
Thank you.

This is exactly what I need. Thanks!
