In my experience I actually got A LOT more from this approach using postgraphile/Hasura in front of my DB and later moved to dosco/super-graph in order to add custom functionality that was kind of a pain to do on the DB.

I really liked the mixed approach of have the DB do everything that it can and have a light backend that can handle http requests, api callbacks, image manipulation and whatever else.

Out of interest (as the PostGraphile maintainer) did you look into https://www.graphile.org/postgraphile/make-extend-schema-plu... for extending the PostGraphile schema to do whatever you need, or were you specifically looking to implement the extensions in Go?

First, thanks! PostGraphile is an AWESOME piece of software! But yeah, the reason was simply because I wanted to implement custom logic in Go.

Thanks! Makes sense; best of luck with your future projects!
