Reviewer scorecard
“Full BaaS that you can self-host. Functions, auth, storage, and databases with good SDKs.”
“The simplest way to get typed, validated outputs from LLMs. Pydantic integration is natural for Python developers.”
“Solid Firebase alternative that's open source and self-hostable. The Docker-based deployment is straightforward.”
“Does one thing perfectly. No over-abstraction, just structured outputs. The anti-LangChain.”
“Open-source BaaS is the right model. Appwrite and Supabase represent the future of backend services.”
“Structured outputs are the bridge between LLMs and traditional software. Instructor makes that bridge trivial to build.”
