This CLI provided essential tooling for integrating GraphQL clients and servers, though much of its functionality is now deprecated.
Originally, Apollo CLI helped developers validate GraphQL schemas and lint operations for server compatibility. It also offered client-side static type generation. However, most features, including `apollo service` commands and its internal code generation, are deprecated or replaced by tools like Apollo Rover and `graphql-code-generator`. It's receiving minimal support as the project is phased out.
