Blazing fast, instant GraphQL APIs on Postgres with fine grained access control

Hasura GraphQL Engine

Hasura GraphQL Engine is a blazing-fast GraphQL server that gives you instant GraphQL APIs over Postgres. Hasura helps you build GraphQL apps backed by Postgres or incrementally move to GraphQL for existing applications using Postgres.

• Fine-grained access control: Dynamic access control that integrates with your auth system (eg: auth0, firebase-auth)
• High-performance & low-footprint: ~15MB docker image; ~50MB RAM @ 1000 req/s; multi-core aware
• Admin UI & Migrations: Admin UI & Rails-inspired schema migrations
• Postgres ❤️: supports Postgres types (PostGIS/geo-location, etc.), turns views to graphs, trigger stored functions or procedures with mutations

Architecture

The Hasura GraphQL Engine fronts a Postgres database instance and can accept GraphQL requests from your client apps. It can be configured to work with your existing auth system and can handle access control using field-level rules with dynamic variables from your auth system.

You can also place the engine behind a central GraphQL proxy that fronts multiple GraphQL APIs via schema stitching.

Client-side tooling

Hasura works with any GraphQL client. We recommend using Apollo Client. See awesome-graphql for a list of clients.
