Airbnb Is Moving Faster at Scale with GraphQL and Apollo
The state of the industry sometimes deeply sadden me.<p>Creating a stack that complex just to render Static Content... Seriously ?<p>I&#x27;m fairly confident that only the author of this project can do something with the codebase.<p>It must be an absolute mess between Zeplin , Storybook , Apollo , GraphQL , Next, Yeoman etc...<p>Just why ?<p>Can&#x27;t Airbnb invest in one good CMS and tooling solution ? Don&#x27;t they have a CTO that define the company tech governance and tech stack ?<p>Isn&#x27;t building landing page for &quot;Luxury Destination&quot; one of their core businesses ?<p>Do each Airbnb engineer create their own stack for a tiny part of the website ?<p>It just buggers me to see something like this and remind me of their &#x27;React Native Fiasco&#x27; where they decided to use React Native but their mobile engineers didn&#x27;t like JS , so the engineers of each platform just wrote the app using binding to use Java or Objective-C.<p>Sometimes I really tell myself that working for a FAANGS must be awesome, but then this type of content pops up and it just remind me I should either stay at my current job or create my own business to avoid all this.
