Is there any hook that is triggered before the router starts?

Hi,

I want to do an api call before the router starts, is there any hook in the apollo router that can be used?

Not really, you could use the router as a library and do whatever you want before running the router. Like here for example https://github.com/apollographql/router/blob/main/examples/hello-world/src/main.rs#L17

But I'm not sure it would be a good solution.

Depending on where the router is being deployed (like Docker for example), an entrypoint or a script would be less involved than building your own router
