They have GitHub, Netflix & AirBnB amongst others featured on the homepage giving the impression they are customers of apollographql.com. Is this intentional & true?

This site is from creators of MeteorJS, the Meteor Development Group Inc.

[Apollo cofounder here — we are indeed the same team that built Meteor.]

Yup, all three are customers.

That's kind of a stretch for Netflix. A few teams recently started an evaluation pilot, and even that is only for internal tools (i.e. not Netflix.com). There are no current plans to use GraphQL for anything customer facing at Netflix. Nothing against Apollo, but I'd hate for people to get the wrong idea.

Congrats, MDG. What does this mean for Meteor?

Meteor has been a bit of an afterthought at MDG the past 2 years because of apollo. Currently only developed by 1 member of MDG. However it has opened more towards the community and aligned with the rest of the JS ecosystem. The awesome work of Benjamn has made it the best dev experience around IMO, but it seems to have lost a bit of momentum. I hope they could put some focus back on it with the money that Apollo brings, but that's probably naive. They have to answer to their investors...
