Reviewer scorecard
“Point at Postgres, get a production GraphQL API instantly. Authorization rules and real-time subscriptions included.”
“The fastest way to deploy a serverless function. Write TypeScript in the browser, get an instant URL. No config, no deploy step.”
“For Postgres-backed applications that want GraphQL, Hasura eliminates the entire API layer development.”
“Brilliant for prototyping, webhooks, and small automations. The social aspect adds unexpected value — fork and remix.”
“GraphQL momentum has slowed. Hasura is excellent technology but the addressable market may not grow as expected.”
“Val Town is what serverless should have been — write code, it runs. The social coding model adds a new dimension.”
