Community spotlight

There’s been a lot of talk recently about the pros and cons of introspection, and one of the biggest reasons to disable it is to hide features you don’t want users to know about (e.g., before a new product launches). In a recent blog post, Florian Fuchs at HashNode shared how they hide only certain schema pieces from introspection using a custom directive and plugin with Apollo Server. If you’re interested in @hidden, be sure to also check out the @inaccessible Federation directive!
