Reviewer scorecard
“Full BaaS that you can self-host. Functions, auth, storage, and databases with good SDKs.”
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“Solid Firebase alternative that's open source and self-hostable. The Docker-based deployment is straightforward.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“Open-source BaaS is the right model. Appwrite and Supabase represent the future of backend services.”
