Thank you for doing this. I had been looking to do this for a while. You are awesome!

since this was 2 years ago, you must have some experience about running feathers with apollo or graphql... I'm a beginner with both, so i had a few questions:

is there a reason why you replaced apollo with graphql ?
does it actually make sense to run feathers with apollo ? I'm under the (probably wrong) impression that feathers and apollo both attempt to solve same issues but not exactly the same way

cheers

This PR updated the packages based on the changes that were introduced in apollo-server v0.4.2. Since then, though, the packages changed again: this time from graphql-server-express to apollo-server-express.

IMO, Feathers is a great choice for REST-oriented applications. For a GraphQL-based back end, I would recommend looking at either Prisma, or apollo-server + graphql-shield + TypeORM + accounts-js (which has built in support for both GraphQL and REST) instead.
