Why is all the GraphQL documentation so tightly coupled with either Apollo or Relay? Apollo doesn't work nice with a non-react setup (imhe), not to start about Relay itself. All the Relay server side stuff makes the client also really boilerplaty. I don't think i'd buy this book, since it's also apollo stained.

Does someone have good resources on how to use vanilla GraphQL without the bloated Apollo/Relay stuff?

I'm currently working on a GraphQL server (using Graphene), and thankfully I'm able to not use Relay (with which it tightly integrates). So I'm able to implement my own pagination and filters.
