Reviewer scorecard
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Best E2E testing framework. Auto-wait, trace viewer, and codegen eliminate the biggest pain points of browser testing.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“Replaced Cypress in most serious projects. Multi-browser support and the trace viewer are genuine advantages.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
“Playwright is becoming the standard for browser automation beyond testing — AI agents, scraping, and verification.”
