Nhost provides Postgres, GraphQL (Hasura), authentication, storage, and serverless functions. Open-source BaaS with a GraphQL-first approach.
Reviewer scorecard
“Playwright has surpassed Cypress in capabilities. Multi-browser, auto-waiting, and trace viewer are all better in Playwright.”
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Was the best E2E framework but Playwright has taken the lead. The cloud pricing for CI is expensive.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
