Reviewer scorecard
“The free tier is incredibly generous. Multimodal capabilities and grounding with Google Search are unique advantages.”
“Write server code once, deploy anywhere. The preset system handles platform-specific deployment automatically.”
“Google's track record of killing products is concerning, but the Gemini API is too useful to ignore.”
“UnJS is building the invisible infrastructure of the JavaScript ecosystem. Nitro's portability is genuinely valuable.”
“Google's data advantage and multimodal-first approach make Gemini a serious contender in the model race.”
“Universal server engines that abstract deployment targets are the right foundation for framework-agnostic backends.”
