# Developer-Focused Data Solutions Apollo's Supergraph Software Makes Disparate Data Easy to Digest By Colin Smith | Published 2022-05-18 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supergraph References: [venturebeat](https://venturebeat.com/2022/05/18/apollo-launches-supergraph-to-curate-enterprise-knowledge/) & [apollographql](https://www.apollographql.com/docs/rover/supergraphs/)  [Apollo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gemini-robotics) announced the launch of 'Supergraph' software, a new data management solution targeted at developers. The Supergraph receives its name from its primary function. The software compiles disparate data from multiple data sources in the back-end of a project and makes this large sample of data easier to digest for front-end developers. This means sources such as APIs will become much easier to manage. Apollo stated that data management between front-end and back-end developers is an issue that consistently becomes harder to solve. As such, the company stressed that Supergraph is not simply a compilation solution, but also an added middle layer that acts as a data flow sorter. Supergraph was developed based on 'Federation 2,' which is software that runs on GraphQL, meaning Supergraph itself is also a [GraphQL-based system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graph-theory-software).
