I considered Hasura but went with postgraphile (https://github.com/graphile/postgraphile) because it's written in JavaScript with a plugin architecture, meaning I can easily add my own plugins into the system down the road. Creating a JavaScript plugin sounds much less daunting that looking into a mature Haskell codebase.

Thanks, that looks great. Was recently struggling to add custom graphql functions to hassura (preferably in python). But I guess js is a fair trade.

Hey, have you seen the preview docs of hasura actions? It has a small example of integrating python (or for that matter, any language) for custom mutations.

Hi! Thanks for following up.

I can't find anything specifically called "hasura actions". Found this[1], but that has nothing to do with language integration.

Sorry, it is actually in preview and not officially released yet. You can get the preview image, docs, etc in the PR: https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/pull/3042

Are you talking about this [1]?

Perhaps it's possible to just use PL/Python[2] to write a custom stored prodecure?

I also came to comment on Hasura. Without having looked into the code I can’t really comment on the quality, but certainly from the outside it’s rock solid.

Wow, looks interesting. Will have to investigate. Looks more solid than any other ”instant graphql” solution I’ve seen.

Outstanding project. Been using the beta releases successfully for a while.

I have not used directly but this does look like a very impressive project.
