Travel companies like Expedia Group, Booking.com, and Priceline have unique opportunities to connect their customers with the rest of the world. Unlike other consumer industries, travel companies are not just another e-commerce store; They provide opportunities to customers that we all wish we had more time in life to experience, and unique opportunities require unique technology solutions.
Luckily, a supergraph can increase product engineering teams’ development velocity and help them ship new features faster by providing a singular and consistent API that can be used across different devices in the traveler’s journey. At the same time, backend teams can enjoy the flexibility of independently managing relevant portions of a schema with the safety provided by Apollo GraphOS.
