Apollo vs Modulus: What are the differences?
Developers describe Apollo as "GraphQL server for Express, Connect, Hapi, Koa and more". Build a universal GraphQL API on top of your existing REST APIs, so you can ship new application features fast without waiting on backend changes. On the other hand, Modulus is detailed as "Hosting, Scaling, and Data for Node.js applications". Modulus is a premier Node.js hosting platform that provides a complete technology stack for application developers. This includes custom SSL, WebSockets, MongoDB, statistics, and more.
Apollo and Modulus belong to "Platform as a Service" category of the tech stack.
"From the creators of Meteor" is the top reason why over 8 developers like Apollo, while over 12 developers mention "Easy to set up and scale" as the leading cause for choosing Modulus.
Apollo is an open source tool with 7.53K GitHub stars and 935 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Apollo's open source repository on GitHub.
We wanted to save as much time as possible when writing our back-end, therefore Apollo was out of the question, we went for an auto-generated API instead. Hasura looked good in the beginning, but we wanted to retain the ability to add a few manual resolvers and modifications to auto-generated ones, which ruled out Hasura. Postgraphile with its Plug-In architecture was the right choice for us, we never regretted it!
