Caching & State Management with Apollo Client
State management is about caching the data you need to provide experiences for your users. Apollo Client is both a GraphQL client and a state management library.

Apollo Client handles the tasks of fetching, caching, and normalizing your remote data. Understanding what it does and how it works under the hood lets you focus on what matters: creating great user experiences.
