Apollo returns the data in observable form. You never have to deal with Redux directly if you don't want to. Check out the Angular docs for more details.

It's also written in TypeScript, nice!

A few days ago I was thinking about using GraphQL in future projects and didn't even find out about Apollo.

So it combines data retrieval via GraphQL with client side state management via Redux?

That's exactly right. We're working on refactoring it as well so that it can be used outside of Redux, here is one of the resulting projects: https://github.com/apollostack/graphql-anywhere

you just stole my heart :)
