The Problem
Frontend teams struggled with over-fetching and complex orchestration across multiple REST APIs.
The Solution
Introduced a federated GraphQL gateway to simplify data fetching and improve client performance.
Lessons Learned
"Schema design requires cross-team coordination to avoid breaking changes in the federated graph."
