The Apollo Supergraph Platform
Supergraph Success Stories
Learn how Apollo enables leading companies to deliver new experiences as quickly as business and customer needs evolve.
Without the supergraph, we’d still be trying to figure out how to build a user journey for the fleet business.
Stephan Lonntorp
Senior Engineering Manager at Volvo Cars
With a supergraph, we could create a single source of truth for definitions of every entity in our data model . . . eliminating a huge amount of maintenance work associated with these disparate graphs. For us, it was worth it.
Mike Byrnes
Principal Software Engineer at Priceline.com
In some cases, teams are almost doubling the speed at which they are releasing features and we are not even close to finishing our modernization journey ... We're just getting faster and faster.
Matt Sexton
Solutions Architect at Booking.com
It’s been over a year since we’ve had any breaking changes. Prior to adopting Apollo, we had breaking changes as frequently as every month. We once took down our mobile home page for six hours.

Senior Software Engineer at RetailMeNot
We have our vaccine finder [where] you punch in your location and select your store. Beforehand, you would select a location, and you wouldn’t know if a COVID-19 vaccine was available at a given store. You’d have to start over. Because we’re using GraphQL, we were able to drive new fields … with REST, way too much data [would’ve been surfaced] to the client.
Nelson Middendorff
Software Engineering Manager, Hy-Vee
Centralized monolithic api services are difficult to scale now that we have 1000+ engineers in many time zones. Federation makes it easier to run an automated, centralized API service, which is fantastic. But it really works well with Apollo’s schema management tools because that’s what makes the automation actually possible
Lenny Burdette
Solutions Architect, Apollo GraphQL
Really, it’s speed and agility that’s going to take you to the next level, rather than the technology itself. That’s why I get so excited about the supergraph.
Deep Varma
CTO at Varo
In a build vs. buy decision, Apollo Platform was a clear buy. We wanted to deliver the promise of GraphQL to our developers now rather than later.
Mark Stuart
Senior Engineering Manager at PayPal
Had contracts not existed, Wayfair would’ve invested 100s of person hours building out custom infrastructure to replicate what we get “built-in,” freeing up time to focus on Wayfair customer needs and developer experience.
Mark Faga
Senior Staff Software Engineer, Wayfair
Apollo gives us a GraphQL-native view of clients, operations, schema changes, and failures for a clear understanding of how our graph is performing.
Dan Boerner
Distinguished Software Lead at Expedia
We have developed a very close working relationship with Apollo, which is critical to ensuring that we can help our customers through both good times and difficult times.
Sankha Pathak
Director of Engineering at Glassdoor
We introduced a new subgraph in the federated graph [for backend compliance logic when Zillow was becoming a brokerage], and it was a complete success … 70 systems migrated without any advance, and we had the deadline, right on the dot.
Robbie Sawers
Director of Engineering, Zillow Offers
The graph unblocked a whole host of things that client developers wanted to do. It's definitely been a win because native app teams have been able to develop features without needing API changes.
Michael P. Geraci
Staff Web Engineer at OkCupid
Teams that are moving to the data graph are bringing products and services to market sooner and dealing with bugs faster and less invasively.
Sarah R.
Senior Software Engineer at Nerdwallet
How fast can you onboard [a new] employee and make them productive? Effectively GraphQL takes [away] that burden of talking to the right people, finding the right endpoints…That’s absolutely critical. How are you going to build innovative products if your engineers spend most of their time trying to find where the data is coming from?
