Using Apollo Server with GraphQL Mesh without the need of GraphQL Hive

[MichaelTheFear]

I'm working in a problem that I have multiple REST APIs (using OpenAPI files) that I'm trying to join using GraphQL Mesh, this process is working smoothly using GraphQL Hive almost as same as this tutorial, however, I would like to do it with Apollo Server. I read in this link that Apollo won't let me create custom directive that transform schemes. Can anyone help me out to find a way to implement exchanging Hive for Apollo? Is there any other API Gateway that I can be used to serve GraphQL Mesh? Would be wise to open a issue for a "mesh-compose" that is compatible with Apollo?

Why do you need Apollo Server specifically?
What feature do you need that is lacking in Hive Gateway?
Currently the only way of serving Mesh-generated subgraph is Hive Gateway. While you can serve the supergraph with any Federation gateway you want.

I'm using Apollo just as a benchmark, I'm researching a solution for generating graphql given a specific input, and I use various REST APIs, but I'm interesting in a generic solution for (almost) any given GraphQL Gateway.
