Built on top of immature overhyped tech (nestjs, prisma, etc...) with lots of issues. Something very common in the JS/NPM that always gives you headaches down the road. There's an arms race to sell hosting through immature buggy magical frameworks in the JS world, so this is to be expected. I'll take the one/two days to set up node, express, postgres with libs for now. What takes up the majority of the time is domain…
Looking forward we have a strong belief in both NestJS and Prisma. They are great technologies on there way up (and in many ways, they are already there)

This does nothing to address the OPs concerns. You might as well have just said "Don't worry about it!"
Re: Show HN: Amplication – Instantly Generate Node.js Apps with GraphQL and REST API
#42I'm curious - is there a tool handles solely the "frontend codebase generation" part of this? This looks great, but we already have a well-defined backend and REST API built using Python+FastAPI, with SQLAlchemy as an ORM and Postgres backing it. I am not a good UI/UX designer, but I understand and have built React applications, so really find myself looking for something that can take an OpenAPI.json spec and produce a hackable frontend codebase that follows best practices.

#43Very excited to see this project hitting the top page. Had the time of my life contributing to it

Are you using SQLAlchemy in a blocking way w/ FastAPI?

#45I'm having a miserable time with Sequelize, and I see this uses Prisma. What contributed to that decision?

#46Autogenerated direct data coupling.
Re: Show HN: Amplication – Instantly Generate Node.js Apps with GraphQL and REST API
#47This looks like it creates very tight coupling between the API and the implementation. This is probably great for prototyping, but probably not a good path for building robust long lived services.

Prisma is awesome. We initially tried TypeOrm and Sequilize and quickly move to Prisma for various reasons. I may post a blog post about this journey soon

#50The demo video is really great - I would make it more prominent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKGeLXoPr94&feature=youtu.be Really comprehensive product!
thanks!
