As you note in your article, Apollo's gql client has optimistic UI, but it looks like a pain. The Apollo cache seems to be powerful enough normalize the way you want, perhaps with some extra code: https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/caching/cache-configuration/ https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/caching/cache-confi...

I haven't used Apollo myself so maybe it's not as usable or powerful as it claims to be.
