Have you been using normal Relay or one of the forks/modified versions that supports server-side rendering? The fact that Apollo Client supports server-side rendering out of the box was a big plus for me.

Is this Relay Classic vs Relay Modern or Relay vs Apollo?

The libraries that support server-side rendering aren't forks, they sit alongside Relay. But yes i've been using them for well over a year without any issues. I haven't tried it with Relay Modern yet, but there are examples out there of how to do it.

Relay Modern is 20% of the size (or 5 times smaller) than Relay Classic, which (if my calculations are correct, I don't have equivalent environments set up) is just over half the size of React Apollo + Apollo Client.
