Reviewer scorecard
“Best auth DX available. Pre-built components look great, the middleware is solid, and the dashboard is useful.”
“Point at Postgres, get a production GraphQL API instantly. Authorization rules and real-time subscriptions included.”
“Auth is a solved problem you shouldn't be building yourself. Clerk makes it fast and reliable.”
“For Postgres-backed applications that want GraphQL, Hasura eliminates the entire API layer development.”
“Authentication as a service is becoming the default. Clerk's component-first approach makes it seamless.”
“GraphQL momentum has slowed. Hasura is excellent technology but the addressable market may not grow as expected.”
