Having worked with the @apollographql client for the vast majority of his career, @rmnlly still couldn’t say he understood exactly what was happening in the cache internally. So, he felt compelled to find out and share on the blog.

[Raman Lally @Rmnlly]

@kulkarniankita9 I mean its hard to pinpoint the MOST, but @kulkarniankita9 has definitely greatly impacted my career, definitely pushed me to do more!

[Raman Lally @Rmnlly]

@_lrlna @peggyrayzis @apollographql That is so cool! Definitely a whole new reason to learn rust, love it!

[Raman Lally @Rmnlly]

@MufausaThe3rd Eh I’m on it too

[Raman Lally @Rmnlly]

@notrab @graphqlwtf Thats so cool, I can’t believe I’d glossed over aliases this whole time! 😅

[Laurin Quast @n1rual]

GraphQL Caching can be hard!

Let's debunk the theory behind caching query results and invalidating them via mutations.

On top of that, @TheGuildDev is happy to announce the Response Cache for #Envelop (The GraphQL Plugin System) for ANY #GraphQL server!

I've had this annoying issue for the last couple months after a VS Code update where gql tags become completely highlighted when your cursor is there, finally I've got a fix. Turning off "Occurrences Highlight" will fix this for now.

GraphQL-ESLint 2.0 by @TheGuildDev was released by @B2o5T & @dotansimha
(🏖️still enjoying his vacation🏖️)

Breaking change mostly because of dropped Node 10 support and upgraded to the latest GraphQL Tools

@MichelleMabuyo @peggyrayzis @graphqlsummit I love the mech keyboard!

[Raman Lally @Rmnlly]

@eveporcello @UriGoldshtein I’ve been waiting for these for a minute, but its awesome to see these examples laid out!

[Raman Lally @Rmnlly]

If anyones working with Apollo GraphQL, and using the REST datasource, remember you can extend it and really customize it. Here's an example of a pattern I've been using, it works pretty well! 🚀
