## Source excerpt

We started Apollo in 2016 with the objective of lowering the barriers to making high-quality, modern apps. Since then, we have seen tremendous growth in our community with nearly 500,000 downloads per week and companies like Audi, the New York Times, Airbnb, and CNBC all making strategic commitments to GraphQL.
