Apollo client + GraphQL — Jonas Helfer
summary
Apollo Client 1.0 arrives after 12 months of work with ~450 contributors and ~400k downloads and is used by New York Times, Shopify, Coursera and Credit Karma. It connects a single GraphQL endpoint to multiple backends (example app "get hunt" joins GitHub REST and a SQL store), provides a normalized cache so one object update refreshes all views, supports optimistic UI via an optimistic layer that reverts if the server differs, and delivers real-time subscriptions (live comments demo works).
