How N-able Certified 1300% Growth with Apollo
Blog post from Apollo
N-able achieved remarkable growth by transitioning to Apollo GraphQL, overcoming challenges of fragmented systems and excessive API calls, which frustrated their customers. Initially planning for modest adoption, they quickly expanded to 14 subgraphs with 85 contributors and 300 Apollo Studio users within a year. Central to this transformation was Dhanik Alkegama, whose team focused on governance that accelerated rather than hindered development, emphasizing mandatory Apollo certification to harmonize understanding and collaboration across teams. This approach enabled efficient management of subgraphs, reduced process bottlenecks, and streamlined workflows, allowing a single query to replace hundreds of REST calls. N-able's strategy included embedding governance into workflows and designing for exponential adoption, fostering an environment where innovation thrived without sacrificing stability. As they continue to evolve, N-able aims to make their graph the default entry point for all customers, further reducing reliance on REST APIs and enhancing collaboration across teams.
