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.
Now teams can start with a VIN, decode it to get the vehicle ID, connect to valuations, and get everything they need in one query. We can compose these proven services in ways we never could before. And considering the process would have typically required months or even a year of work from multiple engineers, Apollo Connectors saved us millions. This was monumental.
Mark Meiller
Principal Engineer of Data Services at Cox Automotive
Apollo GraphOS is a key platform for the development team to work softly with GraphQL. It provides a bunch of tools and APIs that allow us to establish a secure development pipeline to compose and deliver new pieces to our supergraph.

Staff Engineer at Globoplay
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
Apollo Router and Federation are incredibly well-documented systems that are a joy to use. Whenever someone on the team wants to make an improvement to the schema, we can simply refer them to the documentation. It becomes the first point of reference for anyone on the team, and there are so many features available. It’s brilliant.
Juan Carlos
Senior Software Engineer at RS Group
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
With Apollo GraphOS and federated subscriptions, JUCR delivers seamless live updates to thousands of EV charging sessions across Europe, keeping our customers up-to-date in real time during their charging experience
Max Grollmann
CTO & Co-Founder at JUCR
If you’re a company that’s expecting to build more and scale more, but you still want the confidence that what you’re building is standardized and not slowing you down, then I would recommend you consider an Apollo GraphQL approach.
Eldar Tinjić
Engineering Manager at AlphaSense
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
In all our previous stacks, each individual UI built their own APIs. iOS had one API, Android had another API, TV has a different API, etc. we just couldn’t scale with the business anymore. Unifying those in a single federated GraphQL API was super valuable, and something we couldn't do before.
Bruce Wang
Director of Product Platform Systems team, Netflix
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
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?
