What it is

Hasura GraphQL Engine is an open-source GraphQL API layer that automatically generates real-time APIs on top of databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, ClickHouse, MS SQL Server). It provides instant GraphQL queries, subscriptions, mutations, and event-driven webhooks without writing resolvers, combined with fine-grained role-based access control. Large monorepo with two major version branches: v2/ (stable GraphQL engine written primarily in Haskell) and v3/ (next-gen engine with Data Connector architecture for multi-database support). Top-level contains architecture docs, assets, cabal build configs, and Makefile. TypeScript scaffolder tool in root (15M LOC) suggests JavaScript-based tooling…

Start here

Open these first:

  • README.md — Entry point documentation describing Hasura's GraphQL API engine, data access features, and v3 architecture with multiple…
  • cabal.project — Root Haskell build configuration defining the primary Hasura engine implementation and dependency resolution.
  • cli-ext/package.json — TypeScript/JavaScript CLI extension scaffolder dependencies and build scripts for action code generation and SDL utilities.
  • cli/README.md — CLI tooling documentation covering migration management, configuration, and deployment workflows.
  • CONTRIBUTING.md — Contribution guidelines and development workflow expectations for all contributors across multiple language codebases.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone with git clone https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine.git --depth 1 (shallow clone recommended due to large repo size). For V3 only, use sparse-checkout: `git clone --no-checkout https://github.com/hasura/grap…

Daily commands:

For scaffolder tool: npm run transpile && npm run build creates build artifacts. Start dev with npm test (via Babel transpilation) or npm run test:unit using Vitest. Root Makefile presence suggests core engine has…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Monorepo scale: cloning full history is slow; use --depth 1 or sparse-checkout. V2 vs V3 branching means features/fixes may target different versions. GraphQL dependency pinned to 15.10.2 (check for CVEs). Babel…
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
