## AI overview

This article presents Apollo's DX Audits framework for developer advocacy. The process has developer advocates experience common GraphQL and Apollo platform workflows, document friction in logs, report findings, and track action items to reduce product friction and improve developer success.

## Source excerpt

If you ask a developer advocate (DA) what their day-to-day looks like, you'll likely get a very different answer from each person you ask. Interestingly enough, I'd wager that if you asked two DAs on the same team, you'd still get two totally separate answers. As DAs, we're tasked with helping developers be successful, but how we do that is basically up to us.
