Meteor + apollo-react v2, accounts with mongodb

I’m about to start a new project and I’ve been reading up on the latest meteor implementations. A common theme appears to be combing apollo-react v2 with meteor. I’m very comfortable with Meteor, however, I haven’t used Apollo before and it’s hard to tell if the documentation on combining them together is up to date. The LevelUpTuts, look good, however, I think this might be a deprecated way of doing this.

Can anyway provide some guidance on where to start, if documentation is outdated and if it’s worth using Apollo.

I thought ddp-apollo was deprecated.

ddp-apollo works great and is not deprecated.

I haven’t used both, so I cannot provide a proper overview of the differences.
