@mzikherman mzikherman changed the title Update GraphQL schema design: remove stitching, add query result unions chore: update GraphQL schema design: remove stitching, add query result unions Jan 13, 2026

You can read about how to build and test a stitched API
[via the blog](http://artsy.github.io/blog/2018/12/11/GraphQL-Stitching/).
We are moving away from schema stitching - backends should implement vanilla RESTful JSON API's, with data loaders in Metaphysics (typically mapping 1-1 with an API endpoint) responsible for fetching.
