Why use Next.js with Apollo

Apollo is a GraphQL implementation that facilitates data management, providing a GraphQL client, Apollo Client, which integrates with React frameworks like Next.js for effective state management of both local and remote data. The Apollo Client offers advantages such as out-of-the-box caching, inbuilt loading and error states, and a declarative approach to data fetching, enhancing developer efficiency. Its integration with Next.js is versatile, supporting static site generation (SSG), incremental static regeneration (ISR), server-side rendering (SSR), and client-side rendering (CSR). Each rendering method offers unique benefits, such as faster load times with SSG, dynamic data updates with SSR, and reduced server processing with CSR, making it adaptable for various application needs. The article guides on implementing these methods using Apollo Client, demonstrating how it simplifies data fetching and enhances application development with Next.js.
