This sounds like a really cool editor extension:

> On top of these, we built new tools and workflows for GraphQL developers. The new Apollo VS Code plugin puts valuable information about your schema — like the average latency of a specific field — right at your fingertips at development time.

They have GitHub, Netflix & AirBnB amongst others featured on the homepage giving the impression they are customers of apollographql.com. Is this intentional & true? This site is from creators of MeteorJS, the Meteor Development Group Inc.

[Apollo cofounder here — we are indeed the same team that built Meteor.]

Yup, all three are customers.

And they all are speaking at the GraphQL Summit today and tomorrow in SF!

Congrats, MDG. What does this mean for Meteor?

This is awesome. I wonder how much the Enterprise Graphql Gateway is, our app is under a million queries a month, but right now I instantiate multiple apollo clients which point to different Graphql endpoints because we do not have a gateway. I would love this but I am not sure if it makes sense for our case from a cost perspective.

We use Apollo heavily within our iOS app. These peeps build really awesome tooling.

Despite that, I wish more time were invested in the OSS native apollo libraries (iOS, Android). There still isn't a way to do cache invalidations, and both libraries (perhaps understandably so) are well behind apollo-js in features. I would build something myself as a PR (and perhaps this is a problem with most GitHub projects), but non-trivial PRs seem to be left sitting for months or never touched at all by maintainers.

I bet the Apollo folks are just focusing their efforts where interest lies, but there really isn't a great, fully-featured OSS graphql client for mobile right now. React Native + apollo-js does not count to me: I have never used a React Native app I've felt acceptable on Android, and have only found marginally acceptable iOS apps in the wild.

Meteor has been a bit of an afterthought at MDG the past 2 years because of apollo. Currently only developed by 1 member of MDG. However it has opened more towards the community and aligned with the rest of the JS ecosystem. The awesome work of Benjamn has made it the best dev experience around IMO, but it seems to have lost a bit of momentum. I hope they could put some focus back on it with the money that Apollo brings, but that's probably naive. They have to answer to their investors...
