Hasura

App in the BluixApps catalog

What it is

Hasura is an instant GraphQL API for your databases — point it at Postgres / MySQL / SQL Server / BigQuery / Snowflake and Hasura auto-generates a GraphQL API with permissions, relationships, subscriptions. Real-time, schema-aware, with row-level auth.

For backend developers who want to skip writing CRUD GraphQL resolvers, Hasura is the leading auto-API tool.

What it's for

  • Instant GraphQL backend — no need to write resolvers for your DB schema
  • Real-time subscriptions — WebSocket subscriptions on DB changes
  • Permission engine — row-level access control without writing middleware
  • Multi-DB federation — combine Postgres + MySQL + REST APIs in one GraphQL schema
  • JAMstack backend — instant API for static-site + mobile clients

Who it's for

  • Frontend developers building React / Vue / Mobile apps needing a backend
  • Startups prototyping fast without writing resolver boilerplate
  • Agencies delivering client projects faster with auto-generated APIs
  • API platform teams federating multiple data sources
  • Mobile developers consuming GraphQL with offline-first patterns

Why teams pick Hasura over alternatives

  • Auto API — schema introspection generates GraphQL automatically
  • Apache 2.0 (Community Edition) — fully open core
  • Subscriptions native — real-time updates without writing pub/sub
  • Row-level auth — declarative permission rules in JSON
  • Multi-source federation — combine multiple DBs + REST in one API
  • Active development — backed by Hasura Inc.

Integrations

  • Databases — Postgres, MySQL, MSSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, Citus, Aurora
  • REST sources — wrap external REST APIs as GraphQL
  • Auth — JWT-based; integrates with Auth0, Firebase, Cognito, custom
  • Event triggers — fire on DB changes → call serverless functions
  • Webhooks — fire on GraphQL operations
  • Actions — custom GraphQL fields backed by REST or serverless
  • Cache — Redis backend for query result caching

Notable users & community

  • 31k+ GitHub stars
  • Used by Atlassian, Airbus, Philips, Walmart for production APIs
  • Active Discord + community forums
  • Backed by Hasura Inc. with commercial cloud + enterprise tiers
  • Strong adoption in JAMstack + serverless community

Tips & operations

  • Migrations from day one — use Hasura CLI for tracked migrations; UI changes get lost otherwise
  • JWT auth — set up early; permission rules depend on JWT claims
  • Watch query depth — uncontrolled GraphQL queries can DoS the DB; depth + complexity limits essential
  • Cache headers — Hasura supports cache directives; tune for read-heavy APIs
  • Persistent Postgres — Hasura's metadata + your data both live here
  • Backup metadata + DB — Hasura's metadata is its config; export with hasura metadata export
