Reviewer scorecard
“EAS Build, OTA updates, and the managed workflow eliminate the worst parts of mobile development. Indispensable.”
“Type-safe database queries with auto-generated client. Prisma Migrate and Studio round out the developer experience.”
“Expo has matured from toy to production platform. The config plugins and custom dev clients removed the old limitations.”
“Some performance concerns at extreme scale, but for 99% of apps the DX and type safety are worth it.”
“Expo is making React Native the default for mobile. Universal apps (web + mobile) from one codebase is the future.”
“Prisma Accelerate (edge caching) and Pulse (real-time) expand Prisma from ORM to data platform.”
