Reviewer scorecard
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“This fills a real gap in the ecosystem. Worth adopting early.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
“The team ships fast and responds to feedback. Good sign.”
