The team at Apollo has been happy with the response after announcing an update to Optics, a tool used by thousands of developers for GraphQL query visualization and performance monitoring. New features are being developed, including support for Java, Scala, and Elixir GraphQL servers using Apollo Tracing, error reporting, and notifications for query performance and error metrics. The team is seeking feedback from users before wider release and invites interested developers to sign up for early access to try out these new features.
