Reviewer scorecard
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Stateful edge servers are the right abstraction for real-time. The Cloudflare acquisition ensures long-term viability.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“Durable Objects made simple. For real-time features without WebSocket infrastructure complexity, PartyKit is excellent.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
“Edge-first real-time infrastructure is the future of multiplayer applications. PartyKit is building that.”
