10/27/2017, 8:03 PMBecause they do a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to stuff like data store normalization and component lifecycle fetch management

10/27/2017, 8:03 PM@joar can you show me the real example 🙂
Maslov
10/27/2017, 8:04 PMone example why you okay with bundle weight for this stuff

10/27/2017, 8:04 PMI do react native apps so bundle size is not an issue for me

Maslov
10/27/2017, 8:04 PMfor react-native I agree

10/27/2017, 8:05 PMI have created multiple web apps in the past using apollo client as well, I wouldnt do GQL without them, really
joar
10/27/2017, 8:05 PMthe bundle size impact is not that bad, usually other packages are far far worse
joar
10/27/2017, 8:06 PMespecially considering what it is youre getting for it

10/27/2017, 8:10 PMApollo-client is around 23Kb minified compressed, that really shouldn't be an issue.

Maslov
10/27/2017, 8:12 PM@agartha are you sure?) and 23kb is very big size for 3G

Maslov
10/27/2017, 8:16 PMjust checked now, raw apollo client preset is 108.7K and 28.9K gzipped

agartha
10/27/2017, 8:16 PM29Kb is not big, not even on 3G

Maslov
10/27/2017, 8:17 PM@agartha if your app only contain apollo client it may be truth
Maslov
10/27/2017, 8:17 PM@agartha do you check your apps with webpagetest and lighthouse?

agartha
10/27/2017, 8:18 PMLighthouse usually

Maslov
10/27/2017, 8:18 PMwhat is the first render time you got usually?
Maslov
10/27/2017, 8:19 PMmore than 4s?)

agartha
10/27/2017, 8:19 PMDefinitely not
agartha
10/27/2017, 8:19 PMI'll check later, am on mobile.

10/27/2017, 8:28 PMAlso, first meaningful paint is not only influenced by bundle size(s), but also by things like SSR, HTTP/2, etc. There's usually more to be gained in that direction than in shaving off a few bytes of the bundle size

10/27/2017, 8:56 PMI would argue very very strongly for the fact that the quality improvement of your application from adding a GQL client far outweighs any increases in TTI when it comes to user satisfaction
