Commented on their roadmap with some suggested features, check my comment there:
apollographql/apollo-server#2360 (comment)

If they make some of these changes it'd be probably easier to integrate moleculer and federation.

I would like suggest we public federation graphql to separate project so everyone can choose option match with task. This wil help package more lightweight. User often choose only 1 in 2 ways (graphql snitching or federation) anyway..

Note: There is a hole here in that Apollo Federation does not currently support subscriptions (LINK):

Apollo Federation does not currently support GraphQL subscription operations.

To implement federation using Apollo federation would likely mean a regression in subscriptions, unless some form of hybrid approach was taken.
