(Disclaimer: I work on Apollo)

Yes, it was a bit surprising to see "Apollo" separate from "GraphQL" here, since our primary focus is to enable people to take advantage of GraphQL no matter their frontend and backend architecture.

It makes the most sense to make a direct comparison between "Apollo" and "Relay", but they should both be considered a subset of "GraphQL", which is really the core technology that everyone is building on.

However, excited that people like it, and we're excited to collaborate with everyone to make it the best way to use GraphQL in an application!



Do you guys know something loke Apollo but on top of RxJS?

I'm not a big fan of Redux anymore since I discovered observable streams.


Apollo returns the data in observable form. You never have to deal with Redux directly if you don't want to. Check out the Angular docs for more details.


It's also written in TypeScript, nice!

A few days ago I was thinking about using GraphQL in future projects and didn't even find out about Apollo.

So it combines data retrieval via GraphQL with client side state management via Redux?


That's exactly right. We're working on refactoring it as well so that it can be used outside of Redux, here is one of the resulting projects: https://github.com/apollostack/graphql-anywhere


you just stole my heart :)


I agree that Apollo is a subset of GraphQL, but I wouldn't have been able to collect any data on it unless it was a separate answer.

It's your fault for building something innovative that doesn't neatly fit in a pre-existing box… (same thing with Meteor actually!)
