Reviewer scorecard
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“3x faster installs, strict dependency resolution, and disk space savings. The best JavaScript package manager.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“Strictly better than npm in every measurable way. The strict node_modules prevents dependency bugs.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
“pnpm's content-addressable store is the right architecture. Bun's speed will push it further.”
