Reviewer scorecard
“Typed errors and dependency injection for TypeScript done right. The platform modules (HTTP, Schema, SQL) are production-grade.”
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Steep learning curve and the functional programming style isn't for everyone. The benefits are real but the adoption cost is high.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“Effect brings Scala/Haskell-level reliability to TypeScript. As TypeScript applications grow in complexity, Effect becomes more valuable.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
