Apollo Engine is a GraphQL gateway that provides caching, performance monitoring, and other features specifically for GraphQL. It's built from the ground up to empower product developers to feel confident about using GraphQL on top of existing infrastructure. The new 1.0 version of the apollo-engine npm package and standalone Docker container make it easier to set up Engine with a simpler API, reduced code duplication, and expanded support for Node web frameworks. This release also includes features like tracing, cacheControl, and improved performance and stability, as well as an ApolloEngineLauncher API for running the Engine binary as a standalone process. With this new setup, users can track query performance distribution over time, cache GraphQL results, and more, with a reworked documentation set to improve ease of use and feature development.
