SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Apollo GraphQL, the GraphQL API Platform company, today announced Apollo Connectors for simplifying GraphQL API integration. Unveiled at GraphQL Summit 2024, this groundbreaking addition to Apollo’s product suite empowers organizations to leverage GraphQL as a complementary platform that sits atop existing services with minimal overhead, enhancing the flexibility, speed, and efficiency of API integration. By reducing the need for middleware and boilerplate code, Apollo Connectors further position Apollo at the forefront of the GraphQL API market. Apollo Connectors for REST APIs is available today in public preview.

Many organizations recognize the potential of GraphQL but struggle with managing various APIs and maximizing the value of their existing REST API investments, which often fetch too much or too little data. These challenges add complexity and cost, slowing innovation. As API ambitions scale to develop modern and intelligent applications, the Apollo GraphOS® platform offers an API platform approach that reduces the cognitive load on development teams, allowing them to focus on what matters most—delivering value.

The introduction of Apollo Connectors for REST APIs simplifies this transition further by allowing developers to integrate REST APIs into a federated GraphQL schema, incrementally or all at once, without incurring additional overhead. This pivotal advancement bridges the gap between traditional REST architectures and modern GraphQL deployments, enabling a unified, manageable, and more innovative API strategy across the organization. Apollo also celebrates the fifth anniversary of Apollo Federation, now considered the consensus standard for GraphQL in the enterprise.

“The pace of innovation, driven by AI and the demand for personalized digital experiences, means that organizations can no longer afford to delay modernizing their API strategies,” said Matt DeBergalis, CTO and co-founder of Apollo GraphQL. “Apollo Connectors for REST APIs allow teams to swiftly adapt by incrementally adopting GraphQL without overhauling existing systems. This isn’t just about simplification; it’s about staying competitive in an environment where speed and flexibility are critical. Apollo Connectors are designed to make that transition seamless and immediate.”

Key Features of Apollo Connectors for REST APIs include:

Declarative integration: Engineers can use a simple syntax within their GraphQL schema to connect directly to REST API endpoints, streamlining the process of mapping types and fields to underlying services.

Eliminating the GraphQL server: By eliminating the complexities of GraphQL server development and maintenance, Apollo Connectors reduces technical debt and allows teams to focus on delivering value faster.

Seamless onboarding: Apollo GraphOS provides integrated tooling and a smart editor for VSCode, ensuring a smooth onboarding process for teams of all sizes.

“Apollo Connectors makes it dramatically easier for enterprises to unify their API ecosystem with a federated GraphQL architecture,” said Rob Brazier, vice president of product at Apollo GraphQL. “Almost every organization of significant scale has a large REST API footprint. Apollo Connectors for REST APIs enable our customers to leverage that API footprint, integrating with it to drive innovation without wasting time on risky migrations or waterfall architectural transformations.”

Additional New Product Features Improve Scalability, Speed, and Developer Productivity

Apollo is also unveiling several enhancements to its platform, Apollo GraphOS, and its suite of tools aimed at improving enterprise scale, developer velocity, and platform performance:

Significant performance gains now in Apollo Router Core: Apollo Router Core, now with a new native query planner in public preview that delivers significant performance improvements, reduces resource usage, and cuts latency when processing and planning client requests.

As Apollo customers scale their graphs to handle more clients and increasingly complex use cases, they require a way to ensure that complex GraphQL operations do not compromise performance or lead to denial of service issues. Enterprise customers can use Apollo’s GraphOS Router, which now includes native demand control to help manage and limit operational complexity, to prevent performance slowdowns.

GraphOS Router also introduces entity caching with cache invalidation in public preview. API teams can now store key business entities, such as inventory and user records, in Redis for long-term caching, ensuring responsive and high-performing applications. They also have granular control over invalidating entries based on time to live, subgraph, type, and more. Apollo will also offer long-term support for it, ensuring that enterprises can rely on it for years to come.

Improved developer velocity and performance for API platform teams. Apollo continues to prioritize developer experience with the latest improvements in Rover, its leading command-line interface for GraphOS. The new workflow improvements in Rover integrate it more closely with GraphOS Studio and bring under-the-hood improvements that make it up to 10 times faster for developers to compose large-scale graphs.

Rover now executes commands in parallel and asynchronously, such as composition and fetching, improving speed and reliability, especially for large graphs. Native OS-level threading also makes local composition up to 10x faster.

Beyond performance improvements, Rover now supports subgraph mirroring, an automated workflow that allows developers to seamlessly fetch and test subgraph configurations on their local machines. This new enhancement eliminates the time-consuming manual setup previously required, enabling developers to quickly test new subgraphs and router configurations in a controlled environment, significantly boosting developer productivity. Download the latest Rover release.

Automatically enforce organization-specific standards with enhanced security and compliance. Apollo GraphOS introduces custom schema checks, a powerful new feature that addresses API platform teams’ demand for enhanced schema validation capabilities. This functionality allows organizations to integrate their own business logic, security policies, and governance rules into Apollo’s existing schema check workflow, ensuring that every schema change adheres to company-specific standards. The result is a more robust, flexible, and secure approach to maintaining schema integrity, allowing platform teams to uphold organizational standards in an automated manner while adhering to stringent organizational requirements.

“Our Apollo GraphOS platform and suite of tools give enterprises the capabilities they need to build next-generation intelligent applications,” said DeBergalis. “The enhancements we’re announcing today further our mission to make API platforms more powerful, flexible, and easier to use at any scale.”

Users can experience first-hand the ease of building an expansive GraphQL API through the power of Apollo Connectors for REST APIs. Start today for free.

New ProEssentials v11: Native WinUI Charting Library, 100M Points in 15ms, Following Microsoft’s Vision for True Native Swap-Chain Rendering

Published

7 hours ago

on

July 26, 2026

By

30 years of evolution in native C++ rendering that bypasses the managed XAML layer entirely and renders straight on the GPU via Direct3D compute shaders, in native x64 and ARM64, ready for Microsoft’s Windows on Arm and Copilot+ PCs. A fresh pass of 100M new data points renders to screen in ~65ms. The same engine powers WinUI, WPF, WinForms, MFC, and C++ from one codebase, with .NET 10 — built for real-time scientific, engineering, and financial data.

DALLAS, July 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gigasoft has released ProEssentials v11, bringing its 30-year native C++ charting engine to WinUI. Every other WinUI chart today renders through managed XAML — ProEssentials renders directly to a Direct3D composition swap chain, the native path Microsoft built WinUI around. The result: 100 million data points re-rendered in roughly 15ms, a fully fresh 100M-point frame on screen in about 65ms.

v11 also ships a native ARM64 engine, ProEssentials runs native on Microsoft’s Windows on Arm and Copilot+ PCs. .NET 10 arrives across the WinUI, WPF, and WinForms interfaces, with Direct3D compute shaders doing the heavy lifting on every architecture. A side-by-side native WinUI chart performance comparison against the major vendors is published on gigasoft.com.

The engine underneath is the same native C++ core Gigasoft has refined since 1993 — deliberately kept native behind a thin .NET wrapper, never rewritten in managed code. One engine drives WinUI, WPF, WinForms, MFC, and C++, so a chart moves between frameworks by changing the control type, not the charting code. Don’t take the numbers on faith — clone the open-source 100M-point WinUI demo and benchmark it on your own hardware.

“ProEssentials is the undisputed heavyweight of Windows desktop charting. Version 11 brings its three-decade native C++ engine to WinUI 3, native ARM64, and .NET 10. We’re proud to ship the world’s first charting component to faithfully deliver on Microsoft’s goal for WinUI as the modern, native, performant interface — presenting directly through a composition swap chain instead of a managed XAML layer,” said Robert Dede, founder of Gigasoft.

ProEssentials is not only for shipping products. It is the tool engineers reach for on their own side projects — R&D experiments, rapid prototypes, proof-of-concept demos, test-and-measurement utilities, internal data analysis, and the one-off tools engineering firms are always building. Any company serious about engineering will find countless uses for it, and with v11’s AI charting code assistance many of those ideas become working applications in a few hours. Licensing is perpetual and royalty-free, generous for multi-developer teams — worth putting in front of your CTO, CIO, and Chief AI Officer. A no-hassle evaluation download is available at gigasoft.com.
