Initially, I was using Apollo Server standalone, but when I stared integrating Google Login I realized I needed a couple of REST APIs so I added Express&nbsp;<a href="https://expressjs.com/" rev="en_rl_none">https://expressjs.com</a>&nbsp;for that. On the frontend, I&#39;m using <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@react-oauth/google" target="_blank">React Oauth2</a>&nbsp;which makes adding Google Login support very easy to implement.&nbsp; This all works fine, but if I were to start over I might consider using a server-side framework like Next.js&nbsp;<a href="https://nextjs.org/" rev="en_rl_none">https://nextjs.org</a>&nbsp;instead of rolling my own Apollo Server and Express setup.&nbsp;<br></div><div><br></div><div>This is part of a series of short posts about BlogQL:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/snoopdave/blogql" rev="en_rl_none">https://github.com/snoopdave/blogql</a>.</div><div><br></div>
