If you are willing to pay, Wes Bos has a course (AdvancedReact) that covers Apollo, GraphQL, and some other technology relevant to building a GraphQL-based app. It’s a good course and a good fit for those who likes to learn from videos (there’s a repo too which is public btw). It covers everything - deployment included.
For a free guide, I highly recommend How to GraphQL. It’s insane that it’s free considering the things you learn from it. Similar to Wes Bos’ course, you’re also building a full-stack app except the features are not as complex. Deployment and proper authentication are not covered as well. I’ve written a more detailed review here if you’re interested.
Other than that, the Apollo docs is excellent and be sure to check the recipes section in the sidebar when available (For example: Pupstagram example app recipe).
I’m still a beginner as well and the above (and countless random articles) had helped me learn enough to build an app (a habit-tracker).
