PROFILE

Andrew Mcgivery

Worked extensively on the apollographql/router project, delivering features and fixes that enhanced API reliability, security, and configurability. Focused on backend development using Rust, GraphQL, and TypeScript, they implemented advanced connector capabilities such as traffic shaping, TLS configuration, and dynamic header management. Their work included improvements to JSON selection logic, error handling, and schema validation, as well as the introduction of a coprocessor hook for flexible request and response processing. By addressing bugs in header propagation and directive indexing, and optimizing code organization and testing, they contributed to a more robust, maintainable, and extensible API gateway for federated GraphQL architectures.

In September 2025, delivered a critical correctness improvement in the apollographql/router project by addressing directive indexing in the connectors subgraph. The fix ensures non-connect directives no longer skew index counts in snapshot files and that positions in the schema representation accurately reflect the intended structure, enhancing reliability for downstream tooling and consumers.

Mar 1, 2025

March 2025 focused on delivering security, performance, and maintainability improvements for Apollo Router, with concrete business value in safer traffic management, stronger connector security, CI-friendly tooling, and sustained code quality. Key features enable richer traffic control and TLS at the connector level, while a new configuration validation CLI and targeted codebase modularization reduce operational risk and future maintenance costs.

February 2025

3 Commits • 1 Features

Feb 1, 2025

February 2025 contributions for apollographql/router focused on strengthening HTTP transport reliability and aligning payload handling with subgraph conventions. Implemented internal transport refinements, updated tests and snapshots, and prepared the codebase for future protocol improvements.

Jan 1, 2025

January 2025 monthly summary for apollographql/router: Focused on delivering a targeted performance improvement to the query prewarming path for persisted queries, with documentation and clear changes to randomization boundaries. No major bugs fixed this month; emphasis was on reliable feature delivery, maintainability, and measurable improvements to cache distribution across the Router fleet. Key outcomes include a feature delivery that enhances prewarming by including persisted queries in randomization and ensuring separate randomization for pre-warmed queries (pqs) from other cache keys, supported by a formal changeset and associated code updates. The work is expected to reduce prewarm latencies and improve cache hit rates across the Router fleet, contributing to faster query responses for persisted queries.
