Hasura

Hasura is a developer platform that instantly generates a powerful, production-ready GraphQL (and REST) API over your databases, dramatically accelerating backend development. Building APIs to expose your data — with the right queries, mutations, relationships and access controls — is a substantial, repetitive part of development. Hasura automates it: connect your database, and Hasura gives you a flexible, performant GraphQL API in minutes, complete with fine-grained authorization, so developers can focus on building their application rather than writing boilerplate API code.

The platform connects to databases like Postgres and others, automatically creating a GraphQL API that reflects your data and relationships, which front-end and application developers can immediately use to query and modify data efficiently. It provides robust, fine-grained permission and authorization rules so you can control exactly who can access and change what, which is essential for security. Hasura also lets you extend the API with custom business logic and stitch together multiple data sources, making it capable of serving as a unified data access layer for complex applications. The result is faster development, consistent APIs and powerful data access without building it all by hand.

Hasura is used by development teams that want to speed up building applications by generating their data APIs automatically, while retaining control over permissions, performance and extensibility. By eliminating much of the manual work of creating and maintaining APIs and providing a flexible GraphQL layer over their data, it helps teams ship features faster and keep their backends consistent and secure. Its GraphQL-first approach fits modern application development, where flexible, efficient data access is highly valued. As GraphQL adoption grows and teams seek to accelerate backend development without sacrificing control, instant API platforms are increasingly attractive. For development teams that want to instantly create a powerful, secure GraphQL API over their databases, Hasura offers a capable, mature and widely-adopted solution.
