Can Existing Public Facing Graphql Service coexist with Graphql Federation

I am currently having a non federated graphql service which is consumed by certain clients, now there is a new requirement where I need to convert my existing non federated graphql service to federated. So my question is can I have two intstance of apollo server running one with federation and another with non federation? I don’t want to maintain two different set of repositories one for federation and another for non federation. Also my existing clients can’t move into federated services anytime soon

Not sure if it's possible in Apollo Server, but GraphQL Yoga can serve schema conditionally: https://the-guild.dev/graphql/yoga-server/docs/features/schema#conditional-schema

You could share /graphql endpoint for federated and non-federated schema that depends on an http header (or any property of the http request) or have two endpoints serving different schemas.
