Reviewer scorecard

Builder
80/100 · ship

Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.

80/100 · ship

Open-source CMS you can self-host. The visual content-type builder and plugin system are well-designed.

Skeptic
45/100 · skip

GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.

80/100 · ship

For teams that need a self-hosted CMS, Strapi is the most mature open-source option. Large community.

Futurist
80/100 · ship

Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.
