Reviewer scorecard
“Full BaaS that you can self-host. Functions, auth, storage, and databases with good SDKs.”
“Best E2E testing framework. Auto-wait, trace viewer, and codegen eliminate the biggest pain points of browser testing.”
“Solid Firebase alternative that's open source and self-hostable. The Docker-based deployment is straightforward.”
“Replaced Cypress in most serious projects. Multi-browser support and the trace viewer are genuine advantages.”
“Open-source BaaS is the right model. Appwrite and Supabase represent the future of backend services.”
“Playwright is becoming the standard for browser automation beyond testing — AI agents, scraping, and verification.”
