Reviewer scorecard
“Hasura-powered GraphQL over Postgres with auth and storage. The GraphQL-first approach is powerful for complex data needs.”
“Define schema once, get types and validation. The TypeScript inference is seamless. Essential for any TypeScript project.”
“If you want GraphQL, Nhost is the best BaaS option. Hasura's automatic GraphQL from Postgres is genuinely useful.”
“The defacto standard for TypeScript validation. Integration with tRPC, React Hook Form, and every major library.”
“GraphQL adoption has plateaued. tRPC and REST are simpler for most use cases. Nhost's bet on GraphQL is risky.”
“Zod standardized TypeScript validation. The ecosystem built around it (tRPC, AI SDK) proves its importance.”
