Description

Outsourced hosting of the GraphQL APIs that provide data to the Oak platform. Due to us being a longstanding customer and a non-profit, we get a 50% discount on the supplier's full price of the service. Limited time prevented a full market exercise, but pricing has been reviewed for basic reasonableness. Hasura provides a uniquely capable solution of data access and API generation through its real-time GraphQL engine. Unlike traditional development approaches or alternative vendors, Hasura enables the automatic creation of a performant and secure GraphQL API layer directly from our PostgreSQL databases. Its technical distinctiveness lies in its ability to instantly generate GraphQL APIs without the need for manual schema stitching or extensive backend development (saving us implementation costs and hiring for internal expertise). It includes real-time capabilities by default that support live queries and subscriptions. Hasura also delivers high performance and scalability, making it suitable for large-scale, enterprise-grade systems. Due to Hasura's specific functionality, there are no directly comparable solutions available in the market that would allow for meaningful price comparisons.
