Re:Hasura raises $9.9M to simplify GraphQL by lucasverra on Thursday February 27, 2020 @11:47AM (#22434926)
I'm a web entrepreneur and for my project i've been using Parse server project (1) implementation by Back4app (2). For the non initiated, Parse server is a API server module for Node/Express + mongo + websocket and stuff you need to run a commercial app like auth, role management et all.

We chose this because :

1.Open source (no vendor locking although now i'm sure if i had to move from b4a it would be a small PITA 2. Ready to use 3. actively maintained (graphQL have been implemented although we have not used it yet) (3)

My question is : should i invest time on discovering nhost for my next POC ?

Yes! The main advantages for me with the Hasura/Nhost stack is:

1. SQL (Thanks PostgreSQL)

2. Instant realtime GraphQL (Thanks Hasura)

3. Zero vendor lock-in

> 3. Zero vendor lock-in

This is wrong. For basic features that are absolutely needed for a real-life app you will need the "Pro" hasura license.
