Nossos times relatam que Apollo se tornou a biblioteca escolhida para a construção de aplicações React que usam GraphQL para acessar dados em um serviço backend. Embora o projeto da Apollo também forneça um framework de servidor e um gateway GraphQL, o cliente Apollo ganha nossa atenção porque simplifica o problema de conectar componentes de UI a dados providos por um backend GraphQL. De maneira simples, isso significa que menos código precisa ser escrito em comparação com quando se usa backends REST e redux.
Since it was first introduced in the Radar, we’ve seen a steady adoption of GraphQL, particularly as a remote interface for a Backend for Frontend (BFF). As they gain more experience, our teams have reached consensus on Apollo, a GraphQL client, as the preferred way to access GraphQL data from a React application. Although the Apollo project also provides a server framework and a GraphQL gateway, the Apollo client simplifies the problem of binding UI components to data served by any GraphQL backend. Notably, Apollo is used by Amazon AWS in their recent launch of the new AWS AppSync service.
