Hasura GraphQL Engine

GraphQL-native real-time subscriptions that automatically trigger on database changes without writing backend code.

It allows clients to query specific fields and receive updates only when those fields change. It also supports remote schemas, allowing you to sync real-time data from other APIs. It is ideal for teams already invested in the GraphQL ecosystem.
