> Apollo Server 5 is a small upgrade focused largely on adjusting which dependency versions are supported. [Upgrading from v4 to v5](/apollo-server/migration/) usually only takes a few minutes. Because the behavior of Apollo Server has changed minimally between v4 and v5, these docs document both versions.

@mabuyo I just want to confirm that you think this paragraph still makes sense as written

Yes I think it still stands! We are going to discuss possibly splitting off v4 and v5 though to further reduce confusion on v4 being EOL.

**Framing Apollo Products**: Use simpler language like 'move' or 'adopt' instead of 'upgrade' or 'migration' where possible.

**Framing**: Use 'Apollo' instead of 'We' to clearly identify the entity making the recommendation.

**Structural Elements**: Use a <Caution> admonition for highly important information like end-of-life warnings instead of a blockquote.

**Text Formatting**: Avoid using vague phrases like 'previous versions' as link text; use a rich noun phrase instead.

**Verb Tense and Voice**: Use active voice to describe the status of Apollo Server 4.

**Voice**: Use a more authoritative and encouraging tone rather than just recommending.

**Word and Symbol Usage**: Avoid using 'since' as a synonym for 'because'.

**Apollo Server is an [open-source](https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-server), spec-compliant GraphQL server** that's compatible with any GraphQL client, including [Apollo Client](/react). It's the best way to build a production-ready, self-documenting GraphQL API that can use data from any source.
