Relay Modern or Apollo?
summary
Compares Relay Modern and Apollo by building an Instagram clone against a Graphcool GraphQL server and reports concrete tradeoffs Relay uses a compiler and generated fragments so Relay Modern wins raw performance and optimizes complex schemas while requiring an extra build step and learning new store abstractions Apollo focuses on smaller bundles, a modular network layer and easier multiframework use so Apollo Client 2.0 simplifies quick prototypes and Angular integration The demo wires queries mutations and subscriptions and uses Apollo Link and Graphcool endpoints to show both approaches working end to end
