Case Study: Realtor.com achieves technological and cultural transformation with Apollo GraphQL

Realtor.com unifies APIs and scales across 4 focus areas with Apollo GraphQL

Realtor.com, a trusted real estate listing platform, faced a complex and siloed tech stack with API inconsistencies and complex client-side data aggregation. To address this, they partnered with Apollo GraphQL and adopted Apollo Federation to streamline and unify their APIs as part of a larger "simplify to scale" technology strategy.

The solution implemented by Apollo GraphQL was the creation of a federated supergraph. This allowed individual teams to maintain their own GraphQL subgraphs while providing clients with a single, unified endpoint. The result was a significant technological and cultural transformation for Realtor.com, enabling them to move from multiple product expressions to a shared one and get features to market faster with quality across their entire product suite.
