Reviewer scorecard
“Point at Postgres, get a production GraphQL API instantly. Authorization rules and real-time subscriptions included.”
“Build admin panels in hours instead of weeks. SQL queries, API connections, and components just work together.”
“For Postgres-backed applications that want GraphQL, Hasura eliminates the entire API layer development.”
“For internal tools that don't need to be beautiful, Retool eliminates weeks of dev time. Genuinely useful.”
“GraphQL momentum has slowed. Hasura is excellent technology but the addressable market may not grow as expected.”
“AI-generated internal tools will commoditize this space, but Retool's head start and enterprise adoption provide a moat.”
