About the Observation Deck category

Take a step back, relax, and connect with fellow community members beyond the world of Apollo and GraphQL. The Observation Deck is your space for informal discussions, industry trends, tech news, and anything else that sparks curiosity.

Why use this category?

Use this space to:

  • Discuss broader industry trends, emerging technologies, and developer life.
  • Share interesting articles, insights, and thought-provoking questions.
  • Connect with the community on non-Apollo topics—because we’re more than just our code!

How is this different from other categories?

While most categories focus on Apollo products and GraphQL, this is the place for everything else. Whether it’s discussing the latest in AI, your favorite developer tools, or just sharing an interesting find, the Observation Deck is open-ended.

What to post here:

  • Industry news, trends, and insights.
  • Developer tips, workflows, and productivity hacks.
  • Fun discussions, polls, and off-topic chatter.

Helpful Tips:

  • Keep discussions engaging, respectful, and relevant to a developer audience.
  • Use tags like industry-news, polls, or off-topic to help others find your posts.
  • Looking for Apollo-specific discussions? Check out other categories like Schema Design & Federation or GraphOS.

Pull up a seat, share what’s on your mind, and let’s chat! :earth_africa::sparkles:
