Show HN: Hasura – Fast, instant GraphQL APIs on Postgres

For the latter, GraphQL itself explicitly forbids recursivity [0], as it's impossible to guarantee that in all cases the data isn't infinitely recursive, especially with cyclic queries, which could lead to a denial-of-service. Postgres has its own support for recursive queries [1], however you'd need to strap a pagination layer on top in order to make it work with GraphQL.

What a cop-out. Datomic Pull, which predates Graphql by two years and does not have an impedance mismatch problem, handles recursion perfectly fine. https://docs.datomic.com/on-prem/pull.html#recursive-specifi...
