Case Study: Expedia Group accelerates travel app development with Apollo GraphQL

Expedia Group Transforms Product Development with Apollo

Expedia Group, a global travel platform with 25 brands and 200+ booking sites, needed a better way to support modern mobile and web experiences. Its legacy REST infrastructure and tightly coupled client-service architecture slowed development, created inconsistencies across platforms, and made it difficult for teams to keep up with changing APIs and multiple backend services. Apollo GraphQL helped them move away from this complexity with a more unified approach to application data.

Using the Apollo Graph Platform, Expedia Group adopted GraphQL and a single federated graph to modernize its application architecture and centralize schema management across teams. With Apollo GraphQL, the company sped up mobile and web development, reduced time to identify and fix live issues, improved consistency across platforms, and prevented potentially weeklong outages caused by breaking API changes.
