Description

@apollo/federation is explicitly pinned to version 0.27.0. Unfortunately, this version prohibits node versions > 17. This makes it so that our project is stuck using node 16, two major versions behind LTS. It seems that newer versions of @apollo/federation would allow for the newer versions of node.

I don't know enough about any breaking changes between @apollo/federation versions, so this may be unsafe since it is in the 0.x.x semver range, but I'd like to relax this hard-requirement a bit if possible.

Research direction

Start in the apollo-language-server dependency declaration for @apollo/federation and compare newer versions with their supported Node versions and compatibility notes. Run the existing project checks under the newer Node version; done means the hard pin is safely relaxed and the language server still works.
