+> **Deprecated:** Federation is our replacement for schema stitching that enables developers to declaratively compose a distributed graph. Learn why in our [blog post](https://blog.apollographql.com/apollo-federation-f260cf525d21) and [how to migrate](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/federation/migrating-from-stitching/) in the federation guide.

 Schema stitching is the process of creating a single GraphQL schema from multiple underlying GraphQL APIs.
 
 One of the main benefits of GraphQL is that we can query all of our data as part of one schema, and get everything we need in one request. But as the schema grows, it might become cumbersome to manage it all as one codebase, and it starts to make sense to split it into different modules. We may also want to decompose your schema into separate microservices, which can be developed and deployed independently.
