Apollo Client Office Hours with Alessia Bellisario

Apollo Client Office Hours with Alessia Bellisario was a discussion between Jeff Auriemma and Alessia Bellisario, Apollo Maintainer. They talked about the release process of Apollo Client, using changesets for automation and their benefits in improving velocity. They also discussed snapshot releases and how they help with quick testing of fixes. Additionally, they touched on the defer directive, which allows developers to deferring fields that don't need to be fetched initially, reducing network requests. The team is working towards adding more features like suspenseful testing approaches and non-reactive directives. Alessia will be speaking at GraphQL Summit and React Advanced, and Jeff will be giving a lightning talk about GraphQL at Lead Dev West Coast. They also mentioned the importance of schema-driven testing approaches and encouraged folks to reach out on the Apollo Client GitHub or Discord.
