Reviewer scorecard
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
