Keynote: Apollo's Journey with GraphQL: Transforming Enterprise APIs for the Future
summary
Gartner projects GraphQL adoption to north of 60% in enterprises and Federated rollouts to grow 10–12x; Apollo reports retailers like Wayfair running 80–100 subgraphs, Marriott seeing 30–40% faster development, and use cases spanning MLB live apps, American Airlines tech ops, and Ford Credit loan flows. The practical asks are clear: federation and composite schemas, HTTP/transport interoperability with gateways, platform engineering integration (Kubernetes/Envoy/CNCF), and schema semantics that feed LLMs and security tooling.
