Waited for a article like this.

Honestly >90% articles I read uses Apollo. I tried searching for articles that uses only GraphQl to know the nuts and bolts of it.

Now here I'm 👍

You can use pure GraphQL and express for making API if you want (btw I tried that, and I don't want to do that again after learning about apollo), but that would be more boilerplate code. The reason why devs love apollo is how easy it is apollo made the process of making graphql api.

I'm trying to learn apollo myself, but I guess you gotta start somewhere.

Exactly. Was searching for stuff like this before. But also, not doing it again after.... Not Apollo :) ... Postgraphile. If Postgres is your choice, check Postgraphile anf I dubt youll create schemas and API manually again
