Reviewer scorecard
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“Eliminates 90% of server state management boilerplate. Caching, refetching, and mutations just work.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“Solved server state management so well that it changed how React apps are built. The devtools are excellent.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
“TanStack Query's multi-framework support and the broader TanStack ecosystem are defining modern web data management.”
