Our take
Apollo provides technology to help startups and enterprises build apps using GraphQL. It provides the data graph layer connecting modern apps to the cloud, and is the industry standard implementation for GraphQL.
Apollo claims that GraphQL wins out over competing REST APIs by offering a slicker, more bug-resistant service that does not require complex data fetching code. Certainly, the benefits of GraphQL become apparent with more complex web services or mobile applications, and this is the direction in which companies are increasingly headed as business shifts online. As such, it is unsurprising that Apollo count PayPal, New York Times, and Walmart among a roster of high-profile clients.
In recent years, Apollo has shifted online and its products are in high demand. Due to this, the company has both the resources and the strong industry reputation to continue offering it at the highest grade. Its 2022 launch of "Supergraph", a software layer designed to unify disparate data feeds and create one source for front-end developers, is a good demonstration of the company's continued dedication to innovating.
