The 5-10 minute survey targets platform teams and API engineers, covering adoption drivers, governance, platform choices, incident patterns, and notably, how AI and LLM workloads are intersecting with federated graphs. Special focus is placed on AI traffic patterns, including retrieval, function calling, and agent orchestration use cases. Results will be published as an anonymized aggregate report in Q2 2026 to help the community benchmark Federation practices. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
