Show HN: Hasura: High performance GraphQL on Postgres

Hi HN. I’m from the Hasura team.<p>When we first started writing the data APIs, GraphQL had just come out and was pretty rough around the edges.<p>We love how the tooling and community around GraphQL have matured over time and today we are very excited about announcing GraphQL on HN.<p>The idea is that you create tables on Postgres, define permissions and they can be automatically queried and manipulated over a GraphQL interface from front-end applications.<p>We have taken great care to make these APIs as efficient as possible. In fact, the low memory footprint and negligible latency when compared to querying postgres directly, you could even replace the ORM with GraphQL APIs for most use-cases on your server-side code.<p>Read more here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.hasura.io&#x2F;architecture-of-a-high-performance-graphql-to-sql-server-58d9944b8a87" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.hasura.io&#x2F;architecture-of-a-high-performance-gr...</a>

Whoa, there is too much going on here, I don&#x27;t even know how to start. Is this like Heroku, but with the database built-in?<p>[EDIT]: I had previously written &quot;Postgres&quot; instead of &quot;Heroku&quot; above.
