Apollo GraphQL

““We want to take every possible measure to protect our customers, and the supergraph helps us do that in a safe and scalable way.””

““Using a different API architecture, it could take quite some time to make that type of a change. With the graph, we are able to abstract that logic from our client applications and into the graph so that we can quickly make changes to it. And because all of our client teams use the graph, those changes will automatically be reflected across every client application without disrupting engineering workflows or introducing breaking changes.””

““I save at least 10-15 minutes per deployment — and that’s not even including our pre-production environments,” McGarvey estimates.”

““There are a lot of different ways that the supergraph architecture makes us more efficient,” says McGarvey. “So many bugs that might have been deployed have been avoided because of Apollo’s managed federation model. You don’t have to worry about the order in which you deploy subgraphs, and that’s very important when you have 88 plus microservices on the back end. There is no other instance where you can say, yeah, go ahead and deploy our 12 services in any order you like. We don’t care.””

““With Varo Bank, we had the opportunity to build a brand new tech stack from scratch. We knew we had to go with GraphQL and Apollo Federation. There’s no other viable solution for composable architectures at scale.””

““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.””

““We could have built these capabilities ourselves, but they wouldn’t have been as polished. It would have taken a medium sized team a year or more to build something comparable. 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.””

““Graph Manager gives us deep insights at a field-level, confidence against breaking changes, whitelisted queries, and eases client integration by providing linting and in-line SLA timings for every field.””

““Our developers were productive, our app was quick, and users were happy.””

““Apollo engineers have been quick to jump on calls with us and drill down into any issue. We have been really impressed with their support, and that’s one of our motivations to move faster into Router,””

““When we introduced more efficient, event-driven architecture through Apollo Federation, we only needed to cache data and provide responses to consumers when there was a change in data. This not only reduced the load on our infrastructure but also sped up our website’s response time.””

““Apollo helped us bridge those gaps by standardizing language and concepts across the board. Now, instead of having multiple data sources that create confusion, our supergraph is completely clear about where data comes from and who owns it.””

“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”

“Apollo’s ability to fetch only the specific data needed was especially valuable in our mobile app context, where limited network conditions could otherwise hinder performance. For example, mobile users not on strong Wi-Fi or 5G can still experience a seamless interface,”

“For one, building a distributed system is much cleaner using GraphQL and Apollo Federation,”

“Waiting 10 seconds for your EV charger to respond might not seem long, until you’re standing outside in -10°C weather in Germany. Now, thanks to our latest advancements, that wait is reduced to milliseconds, giving our customers a seamless, near-instant charging experience when they need it most”

“Even if you’re a startup, if you want to target more than one client surface area such as web, native, or AI, you really should think about Apollo GraphQL. It lets you build a data catalog for all your clients and organize it in a way that makes sense across your organization.”

“Having Apollo and GraphQL allowed us to accelerate our AI work by providing that base capability of the data we needed for the AI agents,”

“That’s where our partnership with Apollo really paid off. Apollo Router and Federated Subscriptions became the backbone of Talent Scout. Instead of polling or stitching together workarounds, we can now stream structured, real-time updates directly into the UI. We send progress messages, candidate insights, and multi-agent responses, all delivered securely through a federated graph.”

“We were able to use the GraphQL APIs we had already invested in and spend our time learning how to use and govern AI, rather than worrying about how to make our data work with it”

“I have built companies on Apollo,” Sarabia says . “I know what it gives me: the ability to move fast without compromising on security or reliability. Our digital twin runs on top of it today. As we expand into more specialties and more automation, Apollo is what allows us to scale.”

“Apollo lets us feed the AI exactly what it needs, without unnecessary data or overhead. It is structured, secure, and low latency. The same foundation we use for our UI now powers our conversational AI.”

“In healthcare, going live in weeks is almost unheard of. Apollo gave us the foundation to do that safely.”

“Teamwork with Apollo has been crucial to us. We are supported on any critical decision we need to take to achieve our goals and we are always encouraged to have a collaborative relationship with the GraphQL community.”

“Apollo GraphOS is a key platform for the development team to work safely 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.”
