responsible for serving within the context of the larger schema, referencing
and extending what is provided by other source schemas. The GraphQL Composite

composition and distributed execution.

- **Schema Composition**: Schema composition describes the process of merging
multiple _source schemas_ into a single GraphQL schema, the _composite

schema_, is generated. This composite execution schema is annotated with
directives to describe execution, and may have additional internal fields that
