Reviewer scorecard
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“Clean UI, open source, and supports every protocol. The git-based sync is useful for teams.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“Lighter than Postman and open source. For most API development needs, it's the right balance of features.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
“Functional but the UI isn't remarkable. It gets the job done without inspiring joy.”
