Caching your data graph with Apollo Kotlin
summary
Apollo Kotlin demonstrates a normalized cache that turns GraphQL JSON into a key‑value record store (memory + SQLite) and regenerates typesafe Kotlin models from those records, so a mutation updates all watching UI coroutines automatically. Requires stable ids to avoid duplication, supports chaining memory then sql for fast hits, exposes watches as source of truth, ships with an Android Makers example app, and flags pagination and expiry as open issues.
