Reviewer scorecard
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“One command to expose localhost. Essential for webhook development and quick demos. The inspection UI is useful.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“Simple tool that solves a real problem. The free tier is enough for development. Cloudflare Tunnel is the free alternative.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
“Cloudflare Tunnel provides similar functionality for free. ngrok's paid features need to differentiate more.”
