Case Study: PlayStation boosts digital store performance and revenue with Apollo GraphQL Federation

Playstation boosts digital store performance and revenue with Apollo GraphQL

PlayStation faced challenges with its REST-based architecture for its digital store, which led to duplicate code, data inconsistencies, and heavy client-side logic across its various platforms. To prepare for the PS5 launch, they needed a centralized solution for API orchestration to streamline development and create a more consistent user experience, leading them to adopt Apollo GraphQL's federated GraphQL solution.

By implementing Apollo GraphQL's federation, PlayStation centralized its complex business logic and API orchestration, eliminating redundant code. Using Apollo Client's @defer directive, they optimized performance with progressive loading, which accelerated page interactions and improved conversion rates. The solution from Apollo GraphQL resulted in faster development cycles, enhanced cross-platform consistency, and a significant positive impact on revenue.
