I know I got excited with the title there but it is kinda true 😅. In this blog post, I will cover why your switch to GQL and Apollo Client 3 should make you walk away from Redux. I will also talk about my journey from Redux -> Apollo Client.
I have had my share of doubts so in the past couple of projects, I was really skeptical of using Apollo Client as a state management solution. I love ❤ Apollo and specifically the changes made in Apollo client 3 that changed my mind completely 😻
Why I like Redux and what it is good at 💙

The best way to learn anything is to play with it on a project and build 👷🏼♀️ something. As I started learning about Lambda functions, I had this list of questions❓that kept coming to mind. To help you better understand Lambda functions, I’ve converted all of my questions, and their answers into a helpful blog post to get you started. Let’s dive in!
What are lambda functions 🤔 and why are they so popular 🌟?

As a developer, I’ve noticed ever since starting out that a lot of us are intimidated by building accessible apps. The fact of the matter is, it doesn’t have to (and shouldn’t) be that way.

Here are a few things ✨ to consider when incorporating…

What is a Pull Request (PR)?
It is a request for changing code in a repository. Once you make changes you need in your code, you submit a PR. Once submitted, interested parties will perform a code review and provide you with any feedback/changes needed.
