Interesting, a couple quick questions: * for the host-your-own version are there any HA features for Postgres? * what language is it written in? GitHub link?

What is your monetisation strategy?

One of the features, that I know how to do in MongoDB quickly but not in Postgres, is creating permissions not on the the role level (user, admin, etc) but on the id level like users with unique id blah234 and blah546 can access this table/row. I can figure it out in sql with time but it is not a tradeoff worth taking in my certain situation. I always look for this feature when I see a baas/paas tool show up on hacke…

This is quite possible with the permission layer of the data service in Hasura. Why not add a new role that only 'blah234' and 'blah546' can be part of? All you have to do is to define permissions on this role.

Also, creating permissions and roles are all exposed via API calls, in case you have a requirement where you need to create these dynamically.

We do a lot of work with large enterprises.

Χασούρα! (so funny Hasura in Greek)

Asura's are indian vedic (vague) group who are primary opponents to gods. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asura

Asura is a demon (daemon - aka a background process). We love our puns.

Couldn't find docs for installing Hasura on own infrastructure?

Currently installation on cloud providers (that you own) happens through hasura.io. Register at https://beta.hasura.io and you can create a project.

If you want to install on your own, we will be releasing docs over the next 2 weeks.

This is super useful. I'd wager 80% of API's are single data API's and Hasura would speed up development time by a significant factor while still allowing for more flexibility than just building on top of something like Parse. I think eventually most API's will use managed frameworks like this or go serverless so that a lot of the repetitive wiring code is abstracted out.

Okay. I am more interested in testing this on Openshift running on our infrastructure. Thanks!
