Apollo vs Helios: What are the differences?
Developers describe Apollo as "GraphQL server for Express, Connect, Hapi, Koa and more". Build a universal GraphQL API on top of your existing REST APIs, so you can ship new application features fast without waiting on backend changes. On the other hand, Helios is detailed as "Docker container orchestration platform, by Spotify". Helios is a Docker orchestration platform for deploying and managing containers across an entire fleet of servers. Helios provides a HTTP API as well as a command-line client to interact with servers running your containers.
Apollo belongs to "Platform as a Service" category of the tech stack, while Helios can be primarily classified under "Container Tools".
Apollo and Helios are both open source tools. Apollo with 7.55K GitHub stars and 940 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Helios with 2.01K GitHub stars and 229 GitHub forks.
