Our take
Hasura delivers a development toolkit to speed up the production of data-led APIs. According to the company, data and APIs are "key to the success of the modern enterprise", but developing them can prove tedious and time-consuming. To combat this, Hasura automates much of the process, allowing app teams to focus on building other features.
The company's data API platform encompasses a range of tools, such as a declarative authorization engine (for securing data), performance optimisation features, and full monitoring. It can be deployed as either a fully managed Hasura Cloud service or the self-hosted Hasura Enterprise Edition, giving it the versatility to serve a wide range of clientele.
Hasura has gained widespread popularity and has good funding to back itself as it explores further development and expansion. Most recently, it announced key innovations in its Data Delivery Network (DDN), improving access, governance, and integration across domains. These updates position Hasura to meet the rising demand for AI-driven solutions and help businesses overcome data challenges as they adopt GenAI and other advanced technologies.
