Inside the Conversation
N-able's managed service provider customers were drowning in API complexity, orchestrating 100+ REST calls just to answer "which devices are offline?" The technical solution was GraphQL, but when internal adoption exploded 13x faster than planned, they used Apollo to build the devex and governance that could keep pace without becoming a bottleneck.
In this live Customer Spotlight interview, Dan Boerner talks with Dhanik Alkegama about how they met this challenge by turning education into infrastructure with Apollo certifications, automating API governance with GraphOS Schema Proposals, and collapsing customer workflows from hundreds of API calls to a single query.
