Reviewer scorecard
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Open-source CMS you can self-host. The visual content-type builder and plugin system are well-designed.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“For teams that need a self-hosted CMS, Strapi is the most mature open-source option. Large community.”
