The Apollo team has released their 2025 Winter Launch, which includes several exciting features and improvements. The new release introduces Apollo Connectors for REST APIs, a general availability of Router 2.0 with a native query planner, improved tools, and more. Apollo Connectors allows developers to easily map REST API endpoints to their GraphQL schema using a declarative syntax, making it easier to integrate data from REST APIs in the graph. The new query planner in Router 2.0 is blazing-fast and rock-solid, supporting dynamic queries and generating query plans at runtime. Additionally, there are improvements to Apollo Client, Apollo iOS, and Apollo Kotlin, including suspense-enabled React hooks, declarative cache management, and an experimental next-generation caching library. The Apollo GraphOS platform has also been updated with a new free pricing plan, making it easier for developers to get started building with Apollo.
