Apollo Server	Build a performant, scalable GraphQL API with Apollo Server

Apollo Server is the best way to quickly build a production-ready, self-documenting API for GraphQL clients, using data from any source.

It's open-source and works great as a stand-alone server, an addon to an existing Node.js HTTP server, or in "serverless" environments.

Specifications

The GraphQL specification is the only thing you need to use all the Apollo tools. Thankfully, the core spec has extension points you can use to add functionality.
