Instant GraphQL APIs for your data, instantly.
What is Hasura?
Hasura is developed by Hasura Inc., a company founded in 2017 with a team specializing in simplifying data access for developers. The core technology is not a traditional AI model but a high-performance GraphQL engine. This engine creates a real-time GraphQL API instantly by connecting to your data sources, including databases, REST APIs, and GraphQL services. Its key capabilities include automated generation of CRUD operations, fine-grained access control, and seamless handling of database events through triggers. The platform primarily targets backend and full-stack developers, enabling use cases such as rapidly building internal tools, powering mobile and web applications, and creating efficient microservices architectures. By providing a unified, secure data layer, Hasura significantly accelerates development cycles, reduces boilerplate code, and simplifies the integration of disparate systems into a cohesive workflow.
