Also want to mention that it works with Ruby-on-Rails apps and can serve as an instant GraphQL api for your existing Rails app just deploy it alongside the app. Super Graph can decode rails cookies and work with rails session stores to fetch the user id.

I tried running it, but on a normal postgres database, not used by a ruby on rails app. It failed because it assumes RoR security tables (users)?

Also tried to run it in a separate docker image, next to a postgres docker, started from a shared docker-compose, but docs where unclear how to configure this (e.g., what environment variable is used to set the database name).

For those that care to know more. Super Graph works as a GraphQL to SQL compiler which also learns the schema and relationships in your DB to turn your GraphQL query into a highly efficient SQL one.
