Hasura GraphQL Engine Demo


Hasura GraphQL Engine Realtime Demo


Features

  • Make powerful queries: Built-in filtering, pagination, pattern search, bulk insert, update, delete mutations
  • Works with existing, live databases: Point it to an existing database to instantly get a ready-to-use GraphQL API
  • 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.
  • Extend with Actions: Write REST APIs to extend Hasuras schema with custom business logic.
  • Trigger webhooks or serverless functions: On Postgres insert/update/delete events (read more)
  • Scheduled Triggers: Execute custom business logic at specific points in time using a cron config or a one-off event.

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

Client-side tooling

Hasura works with any GraphQL client. See awesome-graphql for a list of clients. Our frontend tutorial series also have integrations with GraphQL clients for different frameworks.

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 database-based GraphQL schema. Ideal for use-cases like implementing a payment API, or querying data that is not in your database - read more.

Actions

Actions are a way to extend Hasuras schema with custom business logic using custom queries and mutations. Actions can be added to Hasura to handle various use cases such as data validation, data enrichment from external sources and any other complex business logic - read more

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.

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.

Demos

Check out all the example applications in the community/sample-apps directory.

Realtime applications

  • Group Chat application built with React, includes a typing indicator, online users & new message notifications.

  • Live location tracking app that shows a running vehicle changing the current GPS coordinates moving on a map.

  • A real-time dashboard for data aggregations on continuously changing data.
