Reviewer scorecard
“GROQ queries and the schema definition in code are elegant. The Studio is highly customizable with React.”
“IBM acquisition slowed development. The auto-generation from REST to GraphQL was interesting but the market moved on.”
“The developer experience is excellent. Content Lake and structured content are genuinely powerful abstractions.”
“GraphQL-as-a-service is a solution looking for a larger market. Most teams that want GraphQL can build it.”
“The most customizable CMS editor experience. Portable Text for rich content is superior to markdown or HTML.”
“API composition will be important but AI-powered approaches may replace declarative GraphQL generation.”
