Nhost provides Postgres, GraphQL (Hasura), authentication, storage, and serverless functions. Open-source BaaS with a GraphQL-first approach.
Reviewer scorecard
“Still the most used JS testing framework. Massive ecosystem of matchers, plugins, and documentation.”
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“Jest defined modern JS testing but Vitest is the future. The migration is happening steadily.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
