Reviewer scorecard
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Simple turbo.json config, powerful caching, and Vercel remote cache integration. The easiest monorepo build tool to adopt.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“Less complex than Nx with good-enough features for most monorepos. The remote cache with Vercel is seamless.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
“Build caching and parallel execution are table stakes for monorepos. Turborepo makes them trivially easy.”
