Fullstack JS, Apollo GraphQL, numerous client types, batteries included. Has auth implemented plus a number of other things you will find useful in the graphql world.
If you are in healthcare, you may want to find an auth system like DEX that can talk to several backends like LDAP & Active Directory, as each hospital or institution will likely want to reuse what they currently have implemented. You'll need to hook into them. (This is on our roadmap)
In Ask HN: What do you use for authentication and authorization?https://github.com/sysgears/apollo-universal-starter-kit is another I've been working with
In React-Starter-Kit – Open Source Universal React Redux GraphQL BoilerplateI started using the Apollo Universal Starter Kit.[0] They were using both Redux with Apollo GraphQL. This really bothered me because there were two stores. Apollo 2 doesn't use Redux for the cache anymore. I went ahead and first pulled out the Redux dependency using Apollo Link State.[1][2] Then I went ahead and removed the Redux-Form dependency using Formik[3] instead.[4] The project maintainers thought it was a good idea and removed Redux and Redux-Form dependencies from all the packages. If you are looking for a way to not use Redux with Apollo, it has been solved. Although Apollo Link State requires some more code, it does normalize the data which means selectors are not needed which is a nice way to think about the data.

If anyone wants an awesome starter kit so you can start hacking GraphQL out of the box, I strongly recommend the Apollo Universal Starter Kit. [0] It's a very resent project with a lot of amazing developers getting behind it contributing code to several branches every day. The documentation is lacking but there are tons of amazing examples on how to solve most of the common web and native app features. If you are using Apollo for a project, they have recently removed the Redux dependency opting for Apollo Link State instead meaning that there isn't two different stores, only one.
