Is anybody using apollo-kotlin with JS in production? We’re seeing some pretty bad performance. Building a fairly straight forward

Call

takes order 45ms on a modern MBP in Chrome, and parsing parsing the response takes order 70ms. This compared with ~5ms to build the same

Call

and ~2ms to parse it using the JS Apollo client. Are there tricks that folks know of to improve the situation? We’re considering just using

external

functions that are implemented on the JS side to make the GraphQL queries.

Yikes that's no good! I was expecting some cost to all the Kotlin runtime but that's a lot... Pretty sure wasm would be faster but it's not for today just yet...

I can open a ticket in a bit. I upgraded to 1.8.10 and things look a bit better, but still probably untenable for production. The runtime is just doing crazy things. It seems like WASM is still a ways off, but I wonder if we can help get that WASI lib built out to speed things along… These screenshots give a sense of the

building (and request making) process.
