Carmen San Diego GraphQL API Federation Challenge: Hunt for the Elusive Master Thi...
summary
A playable Carmen San Diego–style workshop wires multiple data stores into one GraphQL surface using GraphQL Mesh and Docker Compose to run several Postgres containers (MoMA, Bank of New York, Bank of London, tech forum, socialite media). Each Postgres becomes an auto-generated GraphQL API via PostGraphile, sources are namespaced with the encapsulate transform, and the front end queries a single mesh. A real-time HQ subscription for live clues is implemented but fails in the demo environment; code and instructions live on the GitHub repo.
