Summary

Apollo GraphQL has made significant additions to its leadership team, welcoming Aditya Phadke as Chief Customer Officer and Rob Brazier as VP of Product.

The company has experienced 40% growth in new customers, with significant customers including Ford Credit, Sony Playstation, and Realtor.com. Apollo GraphQL's product portfolio and services now include real-time data at scale, comprehensive platform approach to API Security, API conformance and governance, significant performance gains, and official support for Microsoft .NET.
