+When Apollo Gateway attempts to **compose** the schemas provided by your [subgraphs](./subgraphs/) into a **supergraph schema**, it confirms that:
+
+* The subgraphs are valid
+* The resulting supergraph schema is valid
+* The gateway has all of the information it needs to execute operations against the resulting schema
+
+If Apollo Gateway encounters an error, composition fails. This document lists subgraphs and composition error codes and their root causes.
