Great way to invite a mud-slinging contest ;^)

Evaluate them both, use whichever fits your usecase/you like best.

Definitely should evaluate both. Still curious about nhost's perspective.

Postgraphile is built out of wet noodles (JavaScript) and Hasura is Haskell. That's enough for me. JavaScript doesn't belong on the backend.

I've used Hausra since 2018 and it has turned out great:

- 28k stars on GitHub

- Unicorn Startup with $136M in funding

- Notable users of Hasura GraphQL Engine: Netlify, Walmart, Airbus, Atlassian, Nhost ;)

- Support for multiple databases (Postgres, MS SQL, BigQuery, etc)

- Hasura Console (UI)

- Hasura handles row AND column level permissions instead of only Postgres row-level security.

- Database Event Triggers

- Overall a bigger communtity, great docs, lots of example.
