Reviewer scorecard
“Point at Postgres, get a production GraphQL API instantly. Authorization rules and real-time subscriptions included.”
“IBM acquisition slowed development. The auto-generation from REST to GraphQL was interesting but the market moved on.”
“For Postgres-backed applications that want GraphQL, Hasura eliminates the entire API layer development.”
“GraphQL-as-a-service is a solution looking for a larger market. Most teams that want GraphQL can build it.”
“GraphQL momentum has slowed. Hasura is excellent technology but the addressable market may not grow as expected.”
“API composition will be important but AI-powered approaches may replace declarative GraphQL generation.”
