Transforming Capital One’s Data Marketplace with Embedded Governance and a Product Mindset
summary
Capital One turns its enterprise graph into a governed platform using Apollo federation, the open‑source router and rover CLI to compose a supergraph that runs in parallel with live traffic and adds schema publishing, automated approvals and a schema observability dashboard. Results show no meaningful latency impact, a 50% cut in composition/proposal/deploy steps, about three times fewer reviewers and roughly 300% higher deployment velocity; adoption grows as more platforms onboard.
