What are some of the challenges that Apollo is facing now?
Right now the biggest challenge is scoping down our goals to a sustainable level. GraphQL is such an exciting new opportunity that it's easy to get distracted and build a ton of stuff, but we need to stick to only what we can reliably maintain in the long term. Of course as we grow our organization we'll be able to tackle more cool ideas!
What's next in the pipeline?
Given the above, right now we are focusing on creating a great set of open source GraphQL clients that let you integrate your GraphQL data into any of your new or existing apps. This includes, primarily:
- React + React Native
- Angular
- iOS
- Android
It will include some cool bells and whistles to make GraphQL fun for example possible subscription support, but the main goal is to build something straightforward that people can start using right away.
On the other side of the house, we are working on some great production tools to help people learn about, build, and scale GraphQL in their organization. More news coming soon about these products -- I'm working more on the open source side, so I don't have as much info on the services aspect.
