Reviewer scorecard
“Full BaaS that you can self-host. Functions, auth, storage, and databases with good SDKs.”
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Solid Firebase alternative that's open source and self-hostable. The Docker-based deployment is straightforward.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“Open-source BaaS is the right model. Appwrite and Supabase represent the future of backend services.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
