Reviewer scorecard
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Write server code once, deploy anywhere. The preset system handles platform-specific deployment automatically.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“UnJS is building the invisible infrastructure of the JavaScript ecosystem. Nitro's portability is genuinely valuable.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
“Universal server engines that abstract deployment targets are the right foundation for framework-agnostic backends.”
