Fast and efficient way to develop apis **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2021 **What do you like best about Hasura?** It reduces developer effort to create basic crud apis, and it also beneficial for fixed cost type of project, it also reduces the client cost for backend guys. **What do you dislike about Hasura?** Using hasura there are lots of advantages, but personally I know only one disadvantage that new developers are forgetting the sql operation and complex query and it affects the logical ability of developers. **What problems is Hasura solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have worked on fixed cost project, this is very helpful for client as well for reducing the overall cost of the backend debs. ### 2. Readymade graphql solution **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vishwa R. | Senior Associate Platform, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2023 **What do you like best about Hasura?** It is easy to use. It gives you immense power to connect with postgres database and run graphql query on it from step 1. It also provides schemas which we can use in our code base to make graphql calls and mutation or subscription. **What do you dislike about Hasura?** Hasura should support Dynamo db as most of the tech companies now are using aws and their first choice is dynamodb. **What problems is Hasura solving and how is that benefiting you?** We already have a REST api in place which connects with the dynamodb at the backend. We wanted to expose the api as graphql as there are third party services which want to consume our api and they prefer the graph calls. To implement this we used hasura over the rest api to get our work done. ### 3. Grate opensource product for API integrations. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Divyarajsinh C. | Software Engineer , Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 15, 2023 **What do you like best about Hasura?** it is an open-source platform that allows you to integrate Graphql and REST API faster and reliably. when talking about the features it is a powerful query engine with the support of Dynamic access control. It is very easy to connect with schema using Hasura. we can use Hasura on the cloud and the local system so it supports both and which is very convenient for many users like me. What I like most about Hasura is when you connect it properly it automatically writes your queries and mutations in the console I think which is a very useful feature of this product. **What do you dislike about Hasura?** I do have not many disadvantages to this product but one point I want to add here is Hasura is a little bit tough for beginners like I had faced issues with connecting. **What problems is Hasura solving and how is that benefiting you?** Actually, we are looking for a product that provides very reliable, faster, and scalable performance for integration and deployment of APIS and Hasura fits the best for our requirements. so have chosen Hasura over many other products. ### 4. Awesome developer experience on adding a modern solution to a traditional RDMS. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Menard M. | Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2021 **What do you like best about Hasura?** What I like about Hasura is that you can easily use any of your SQL Database like Postgres into building a GraphQL API. Commonly, devs uses a graph database or maybe a document-oriented batabase to build graphql API, and it would be more work if the database is SQL, so the fact that Hasura exists is a huge relief. As a dev with a focus on the Front-end, GraphQL is really a game changer based on how easy it is to request data from the server. Unlike the traditional REST that takes us to many requests, GraphQL can do it once. That's why a GraphQL API is more attractive to Front-End. Now, since majority of the systems built out there are SQL based, it would be a huge hassle to migrate all those data to a more modern DB solution, and again, the dev community including me are so thankful to this awesome open source project for making the development experience more pleasant. And oh, I just forgot, Hasura is fast, like really fast, and that's a huge plus! **What do you dislike about Hasura?** Hasura automatically generates the GQL schema based on the SQL model, or does all the API job for us, and that's superb. But I think it's also Hasura's downside, being abstracting away this process leaves us with less control over out GQL API, so I think they can get better with that aspect (like optionally auto-generate an API depending on the dev team's decision. **What problems is Hasura solving and how is that benefiting you?** I like building GQL API's but I often do that with a Graph API like D-graph and sometimes uses FaunaDB. Being on the JAMstack revolution, GraphQL is a big part of web developement, and the fact that Hasura brings the SQL based DB's in the innovation of web development makes it a bridge that connects SQL with the future. Building GQL api with a Postgres DB is now easier and it's fast. ### 5. Hasura, Best tool for speeding up the development process. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Auston Pramodh B. | Senior Software Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2021 **What do you like best about Hasura?** I like the GraphQL support and also Voyager. It really speeds up the development process by reducing the workload on the backend Team. Let's Team focus on Front-end development. **What do you dislike about Hasura?** Nothing as of now. I could say that I would love it if it can improve performance. Also, if we can have some Youtube Videos for tutorials. **What problems is Hasura solving and how is that benefiting you?** Basically, I am a Project Lead. I look around for solutions that help speed up the delivery without ruining the quality. I have found that Hasura can be used for the backend without having to actually write code. ### 6. PrimeNG provide rich GUI features. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Industrial Automation | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2021 **What do you like best about Hasura?** Hasura saved the grunt effort of writing a CRUD and scalable real-time backend without interfering with how you’d write your business logic. It's easier to use rather than writing Postgres queries. Hasura is designed to be completely stateless and does not have a master-slave architecture. This makes it painless to scale Hasura: Vertical scaling: Increase CPU/RAM Horizontal scaling: Increase the number of replicas Auto-scaling: Setup up auto-scaling on your favorite container provider for automatic 1 to n scaling depending on traffic **What do you dislike about Hasura?** Hasura sure looks interesting, but two things make e hesitant: 1. The overly complicated schema it generates. For example, given an integer id, one can (and must) use various operators to query that id, e.g. `user(id: { _eq(1) })` rather than just `user(id: 1)`, where other operators are `_gt`, `_lt`, etc. To make this possible, hasura defines a comparison object, which results in a very long schema. However, often the only comparison that makes sense is equality, e.g. for IDs, so this should be optional. 2. More importantly, using Hasura establishes coupling between the DB and the GraphQL schemas. What if at a later stage one decides to remove information from the DB and move it to an external source? GraphQL was designed to hide such implementation details. With Hasura this is no longer possible. **Recommendations to others considering Hasura:** I haven’t implemented anything using RLS. It just seemed the way to go since it’s native Postgres. The Hasura team gave me the same explanation as they give in this article - when you use RLS, you have to rerun every query for every client to get your results. By doing it in the application layer, you can run a single query instead. **What problems is Hasura solving and how is that benefiting you?** using this lib I almost saved lots of time ### 7.
