Apollo Tracing Extension

This is a tool to visualize Apollo GraphQL's tracing data on the browser.
It checks for the requests that have the tracing data and lists it on the left side, when one is selected it will display the data on the right section.

If you're writing the GraphQL server:
* It's an alternative way to check for performance issues that doesn't require you sending the data to a server to be able to check it.

If you're writing a client that uses the GraphQL server data:
* It helps you understand all calls and times that happens on the server, the data will help you split or merge queries in a more efficient way.
