Reviewer scorecard
“Full BaaS that you can self-host. Functions, auth, storage, and databases with good SDKs.”
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“Solid Firebase alternative that's open source and self-hostable. The Docker-based deployment is straightforward.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“Open-source BaaS is the right model. Appwrite and Supabase represent the future of backend services.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
