## AI overview

Apollo is releasing an experimental library to simplify using Apollo Client with Next.js 13's App Router in both React Server Components and Client Components. The article explains when to use each approach and provides a quick start.

## Source excerpt

The latest release of Next.js 13 (13.4) declared the new app directory as stable and it will now be the default for new projects. The app directory is a major milestone of Next.js and the whole React ecosystem as it marks all components under the app directory as React Server Components. While this is an exciting new feature, it also brought some confusion to people using them for the first time.
