Hasura GraphQL Engine

Hasura GraphQL Engine is a server that puts a GraphQL API over existing databases and other data sources, as its documentation describes. Postgres stores the engine’s metadata, and a web console ships with it. Permissions are defined per user-defined role, and single sign-on for the console is one of the Enterprise Edition settings.

The Docker guide starts the engine with a Postgres database beside it, and a Helm chart covers Kubernetes. Hasura Cloud is a managed service for Hasura instances, offered next to the self-installed engine.

Worth knowing

The Docker image holds open-source and proprietary components, and the proprietary part, which carries the Enterprise Edition features, is enabled with a license provided by Hasura.
