Hi there! 👋 We're excited you're here to learn about Apollo.
|
|
|
|
Apollo is a platform for building a **data graph**, a communication layer that seamlessly connects application clients (such as React and iOS apps) to back-end services.
|
|
|
|
It's easy to adopt Apollo incrementally, meaning you can set it up alongside an existing solution (such as a REST API) and migrate functionality at your convenience.
|
|
|
|
**The Apollo platform consists of:**
|
|
|
|
- [Apollo Client](https://apollographql.com/docs/react/), an open-source library for managing state in application clients
|
|
|
|
- [Apollo Server](https://apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/), an open-source framework for implementing and running a data graph at scale
|
|
|
|
- [Apollo Graph Manager](https://apollographql.com/docs/platform/graph-manager-overview) (formerly Engine), a cloud service that helps you manage, validate, and secure your organization's data graph
|
|
|
|
- Developer tools that make it even easier to work with Apollo, including extensions for [Chrome](https://apollographql.com/docs/react/features/developer-tooling/#apollo-client-devtools) and [VS Code](/platform/editor-plugins/)
|
|
|
|
Conveniently, we have a tutorial that introduces you to each component of the platform. Ready to dive in?
