Relay: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Relay Runtime is a JavaScript framework for building data-driven React applications. It provides a declarative and efficient way to fetch and manage data for your components, optimizing performance by batching and caching network requests. Relay Runtime is designed to work seamlessly with GraphQL, allowing you to define data requirements at the component level and automatically handle data fetching and updates.
Compared to other data-fetching solutions like Redux or Apollo Client, Relay Runtime offers a more integrated and opinionated approach to managing data in React applications. It simplifies data fetching and state management, making it easier to build complex and scalable applications.
