Summary

Apollo GraphOS helps modern retail apps by unifying cloud data and services into a single source of truth that frontend developers can query using GraphQL, while backend teams enjoy the flexibility to independently manage relevant portions of the supergraph schema with safety provided by Apollo GraphOS. A retail supergraph exposes a one-stop shop for frontend developers to get the data they need and rapidly build out new product features as capabilities are iteratively exposed by backend engineering teams in the supergraph schema. By leveraging Apollo GraphOS, companies can power essential features of modern retail applications such as unifying e-commerce checkouts, personalizing shopping experiences, creating omnichannel experiences, managing time-gated product launches, and aggregating data with third parties. Volvo has successfully leveraged Apollo GraphOS to streamline its online car shopping experience, improve frontend developer experience, and application performance.
