Reviewer scorecard
“The approval flow is brilliant — you see every action before it executes. More transparent than Cursor's agent mode. Great for complex multi-file refactors.”
“Point at Postgres, get a production GraphQL API instantly. Authorization rules and real-time subscriptions included.”
“Uses more API tokens than alternatives because of the autonomous approach. Budget accordingly. But the quality of multi-step reasoning is impressive.”
“For Postgres-backed applications that want GraphQL, Hasura eliminates the entire API layer development.”
“Cline represents the VS Code extension approach to AI coding — extend your existing IDE rather than replacing it. That strategy has legs for developers who don't want to switch editors.”
“GraphQL momentum has slowed. Hasura is excellent technology but the addressable market may not grow as expected.”
