## AI overview

Apollo announces Apollo Server 2, a major release that provides a full-featured GraphQL layer in JavaScript. The release focuses on improving developer experience, incorporating development and production patterns, and layering GraphQL over existing APIs and services.

## Source excerpt

As we watch teams adopt Apollo, one lesson we've learned is how important it is for product engineering teams that use GraphQL to be able to work on their schema as a natural part of their development process. So we think it's vital that there be a full-featured GraphQL layer in JavaScript with all the latest GraphQL innovations and techniques, all wired up with the machinery and tooling that makes it a complete solution.
