# Hasura GraphQL Engine [![Latest release](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/hasura/graphql-engine)](https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/releases/latest) [![Docs](https://img.shields.io/badge/docs-v1.x-brightgreen.svg?style=flat)](https://hasura.io/docs) [![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/hasura/graphql-engine.svg?style=shield)](https://circleci.com/gh/hasura/graphql-engine) Hasura GraphQL Engine is a blazing-fast GraphQL server that gives you **instant, realtime GraphQL APIs over Postgres**, with [**webhook triggers**](event-triggers.md) on database events, and [**remote schemas**](remote-schemas.md) for business logic. Hasura helps you build [GraphQL](https://hasura.io/graphql/) apps backed by Postgres or incrementally move to GraphQL for existing applications using Postgres. Read more at [hasura.io](https://hasura.io) and the [docs](https://hasura.io/docs/). ------------------ ![Hasura GraphQL Engine Demo](assets/demo.gif) ------------------ ![Hasura GraphQL Engine Realtime Demo](assets/realtime.gif) ------------------- ## Features * **Make powerful queries**: Built-in filtering, pagination, pattern search, bulk insert, update, delete mutations * **Realtime**: Convert any GraphQL query to a live query by using subscriptions * **Merge remote schemas**: Access custom GraphQL schemas for business logic via a single GraphQL Engine endpoint. [**Read more**](remote-schemas.md). * **Trigger webhooks or serverless functions**: On Postgres insert/update/delete events ([read more](event-triggers.md)) * **Works with existing, live databases**: Point it to an existing Postgres database to instantly get a ready-to-use GraphQL API * **Fine-grained access control**: Dynamic access control that integrates with your auth system (eg: auth0, firebase-auth) * **High-performance & low-footprint**: ~15MB docker image; ~50MB RAM @ 1000 req/s; multi-core aware * **Admin UI & Migrations**: Admin UI & Rails-inspired schema migrations * **Postgres** β€οΈ: Supports Postgres types (PostGIS/geo-location, etc.), turns views to *graphs*, trigger stored functions or procedures with mutations Read more at [hasura.io](https://hasura.io) and the [docs](https://hasura.io/docs/). ## Table of contents **Table of Contents** - [Quickstart:](#quickstart) - [One-click deployment on Hasura Cloud](#one-click-deployment-on-hasura-cloud) - [Other one-click deployment options](#other-one-click-deployment-options) - [Other deployment methods](#other-deployment-methods) - [Architecture](#architecture) - [Client-side tooling](#client-side-tooling) - [Add business logic](#add-business-logic) - [Remote schemas](#remote-schemas) - [Trigger webhooks on database events](#trigger-webhooks-on-database-events) - [Demos](#demos) - [Realtime applications](#realtime-applications) - [Videos](#videos) - [Support & Troubleshooting](#support--troubleshooting) - [Contributing](#contributing) - [Brand assets](#brand-assets) - [License](#license) - [Translations](#translations) ## Quickstart: ### One-click deployment on Hasura Cloud The fastest and easiest way to try Hasura out is via [Hasura Cloud](https://hasura.io/docs/cloud/1.0/manual/getting-started/index.html). 1. Click on the following button to deploy GraphQL engine on Hasura Cloud including Postgres add-on or using an existing Postgres database: [![Deploy to Hasura Cloud](https://graphql-engine-cdn.hasura.io/img/deploy_to_hasura.png)](https://cloud.hasura.io/) 2. Open the Hasura console Click on the button "Launch console" to open the Hasura console. 3. Make your first GraphQL query Create a table and instantly run your first query. Follow this [simple guide](https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/manual/getting-started/first-graphql-query.html). ### Other one-click deployment options Check out the instructions for the following one-click deployment options: | **Infra provider** | **One-click link** | **Additional information** | |:------------------:|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:| | Heroku | [![Deploy to Heroku](https://www.herokucdn.com/deploy/button.svg)](https://heroku.com/deploy?template=https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-heroku) | [docs](https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/manual/guides/deployment/heroku-one-click.html) | | DigitalOcean | [![Deploy to DigitalOcean](https://graphql-engine-cdn.hasura.io/img/create_hasura_droplet_200px.png)](https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/hasura?action=deploy&refcode=c4d9092d2c48&utm_source=hasura&utm_campaign=readme) | [docs](https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/manual/guides/deployment/digital-ocean-one-click.html#hasura-graphql-engine-digitalocean-one-click-app) | | Azure | [![Deploy to Azure](http://azuredeploy.net/deploybutton.png)](https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Template/uri/https%3a%2f%2fraw.githubusercontent.com%2fhasura%2fgraphql-engine%2fmaster%2finstall-manifests%2fazure-container-with-pg%2fazuredeploy.json) | [docs](https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/manual/guides/deployment/azure-container-instances-postgres.html) | | Render | [![Deploy to Render](https://render.com/images/deploy-to-render-button.svg)](https://render.com/deploy?repo=https://github.com/render-examples/hasura-graphql) | [docs](https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/manual/guides/deployment/render-one-click.html) | ### Other deployment methods For Docker-based deployment and advanced configuration options, see [deployment guides](https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/manual/getting-started/index.html) or [install manifests](install-manifests). ## Architecture The Hasura GraphQL Engine fronts a Postgres database instance and can accept GraphQL requests from your client apps. It can be configured to work with your existing auth system and can handle access control using field-level rules with dynamic variables from your auth system. You can also merge remote GraphQL schemas and provide a unified GraphQL API. ![Hasura GraphQL Engine architecture](assets/hasura-arch.svg) ## Client-side tooling Hasura works with any GraphQL client. We recommend using [Apollo Client](https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client). See [awesome-graphql](https://github.com/chentsulin/awesome-graphql) for a list of clients. ## Add business logic GraphQL Engine provides easy-to-reason, scalable and performant methods for adding custom business logic to your backend: ### Remote schemas Add custom resolvers in a remote schema in addition to Hasura's Postgres-based GraphQL schema. Ideal for use-cases like implementing a payment API, or querying data that is not in your database - [read more](remote-schemas.md). ### Trigger webhooks on database events Add asynchronous business logic that is triggered based on database events. Ideal for notifications, data-pipelines from Postgres or asynchronous processing - [read more](event-triggers.md). ### Derived data or data transformations Transform data in Postgres or run business logic on it to derive another dataset that can be queried using GraphQL Engine - [read more](https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/manual/queries/derived-data.html). ## Demos Check out all the example applications in the [community/sample-apps](community/sample-apps) directory. ### Realtime applications - Group Chat application built with React, includes a typing indicator, online users & new message notifications. - [Try it out](https://realtime-chat.demo.hasura.app/) - [Tutorial](community/sample-apps/realtime-chat) - [Browse APIs](https://realtime-chat.demo.hasura.app/console) - Live location tracking app that shows a running vehicle changing current GPS coordinates moving on a map. - [Try it out](https://realtime-location-tracking.demo.hasura.app/) - [Tutorial](community/sample-apps/realtime-location-tracking) - [Browse APIs](https://realtime-location-tracking.demo.hasura.app/console) - A realtime dashboard for data aggregations on continuously changing data. - [Try it out](https://realtime-poll.demo.hasura.app/) - [Tutorial](community/sample-apps/realtime-poll) - [Browse APIs](https://realtime-poll.demo.hasura.app/console) ### Videos * [Add GraphQL to a self-hosted GitLab instance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2AhxKqd82Q) (*3:44 mins*) * [Todo app with Auth0 and GraphQL backend](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15ITBYnccgc) (*4:00 mins*) * [GraphQL on GitLab integrated with GitLab auth](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1ChRhRLq7o) (*4:05 mins*) * [Dashboard for 10million rides with geo-location (PostGIS, Timescale)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsY573yyGWA) (*3:06 mins*) ## Support & Troubleshooting The documentation and community will help you troubleshoot most issues.
