Reviewer scorecard
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Types from server to client with zero code generation. The DX is magical — change a server type, client updates instantly.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“For TypeScript full-stack apps, tRPC eliminates an entire category of bugs. No schemas, no codegen, just types.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
“tRPC proved that type-safe APIs don't need schemas or code generation. The idea is being adopted everywhere.”
