Reviewer scorecard
“Server Components, streaming, and the App Router represent the future of React. The Vercel deployment experience is unmatched.”
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Some complexity with the App Router learning curve, but it's the most complete full-stack React framework.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“Next.js defines how modern web apps are built. Server Components and AI SDK integration make it the platform for AI web apps.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
