Is Apollo making money? If so, how? Did Meteor make money? If so, how?

  No idea about adoption, but this was one way to monetize: https://www.meteor.com/hosting https://www.meteor.com/hosting

    They were also following the "Get lots of hype, sell pdfs" model for a while.

      I'm not sure what you're talking about, Meteor never sold any PDFs?

          Discover Meteor was promoted by MDG because they thought it was a good resource, but it was never part of MDG itself, it was wholly independent even if one of the authors did go on to work for MDG afterwards. Source: I wrote that book.

  They make money from Apollo Engine, which I think is now called Apollo Platform. Edit: Looks like it's called Graph Manager now: https://www.apollographql.com/docs/graph-manager/ https://www.apollographql.com/docs/graph-manager/

    I still don't understand where the money exchanges hands, here. To my understanding, GraphQL is just a query specification. If the money is in hosting, and it becomes moderately successful, they risk becoming Amazon'd.

      Amazon already has a product based off Apollo. But MDG makes money of apollo by selling graphql monitoring and analytic tools for your Apollo apps.
