Reviewer scorecard
“The best GraphQL server for Node.js. Envelop plugin system and multi-runtime support (Bun, Deno, Workers).”
“The Docker of LLMs. Pull a model, run it, use the API. Privacy, no cloud costs, works offline. Essential tool for any developer experimenting with local AI.”
“If you're building a GraphQL API in Node.js, Yoga with Envelop plugins is the most maintainable approach.”
“Local models still lag behind cloud models in quality. But for development, testing, and privacy-sensitive use cases, Ollama is the obvious choice. Free is hard to beat.”
“GraphQL servers are mature technology. Innovation has moved to the client and tooling layer.”
“Local AI is the future for privacy and cost. As models get smaller and hardware gets better, Ollama becomes the default way to run AI. They are building the runtime layer.”
