Show HN: Hasura – A Postgres BaaS and Kubernetes PaaS on Your Own Infrastructure

This seems like working on a similar space as loopback.io, is this correct? if not, how would you compare the two?

I ask because I'm currently using LB for a project and while I actually like it a lot I always like to be aware of alternatives and similar tools that I might need in the future.

The motivation is quite similar, especially with the out of the box APIs. The architecture/implementation is significantly different.

Key value-prop differences are that out-of-box APIs are just one part of Hasura. The idea is to make it easy to integrate with community services (containerised) or deploy your own services in whatever language/stack.

Some other specific differences:

1. Hasura Data API is a graphql like query language to Postgres.

2. Deployment is similar to Heroku. So you deploy code in any language/framework

3. Nginx based API gateway behaves like a session middleware, so that any upstrea service can re-use auth
