#3looks more like a Hasura distribution than a distinct tool?
Nhost CEO here.
Hasura GraphQL Engine is one of the open source tools we're using for the Nhost stack. But it's "only" one of the open source technologies we're using.
Others are:
- Postgres. Who doesn't love Postgres?
- Hasura Auth: https://github.com/nhost/hasura-auth
- Hasura Storage: http://github.com/nhost/hasura-storage
- Serverless Functions (Node.js)
On top of that we have SKDs in JS/TS/React/Next.js/Vue.
And a CLI for local development and a GitHub integration so you can deploy your backend just like you deploy your frontend with Netlify and Vercel.
Hope that clarifies a bit.

#4Was it tested, by chance, to run with Cockroachdb or Yugabytedb? We are migrating off non distributed solutions and the Postgres native solutions we tried just weren't easy to set up and use, while the two newcomers are. Any advise in that direction? We are using Yugabyte mostly now for testing if everything works and if it's robust; so far it works very well -> we were very happy with Cockroach, but not with the license.

why would i use this instead of just paying Hasura?
in other words: what’s your moat?

#6why hasura instead of postgraphile?

#7How does this compare to Supabase? Is this easily self hostable? I'm seeing lots of movement in this space and it's getting harder to keep track.

Hasura CEO here. If you're trying or evaluating using hasura (or nhost) along with Yugabyte / Cockroach feel free to reach out (email in bio). Happy to have our team help with any architecture or benchmarking things you might run into!

Just paying Hasura gets you just Hasura (at least before Neon it used to)
NHost gets you Hasura, the underlying postgres db, pre-configured auth with JWTs, blob storage, functions and a client-side library to get all of that working together with nearly zero configuration.
edit: also, Hasura's cheapest offering ($100 / month) is still prohibitively expensive for indie projects (That's just Hasura - you would have to add database costs, auth costs and blob storage costs to that $100).

Just to add to the comment: you also have backups, automatic logs on all services, raw access to postgres (you can do whatever you want with it), custom integration with stripe, plus specific dashboard for users, database, and storage.
It's freaking crazy
