## AI overview

Volvo Cars adopted an Apollo GraphOS supergraph after its GraphQL monolith became difficult to scale. The supergraph lets teams manage data independently, connects cloud data and services, and provides visibility into API usage. The article reports that it eliminated unplanned breaking changes and helped frontend developers find data 99.5% faster by aggregating 40 REST endpoints.

## Source excerpt

Volvo Cars is on a journey to have at least 50% of their sales online by 2025. To achieve this goal, the organization needed to create a consistent and intuitive user experience across its website. However, Volvo's system landscape was so complex that it was taking developers over a week to figure out how to combine APIs into new experiences. To complicate matters further, there were site delays that caused abandonment and shoppers weren't seeing accurate pricing information or graphics.
