Modernizing App Development: Planet-scale GraphQL & Distributed SQL
summary
Shows Hasura GraphQL Engine fronting distributed SQL (example: gigabyte db) and Postgres, compiling GraphQL queries into SQL and using prepared statements to get production-grade performance. Demonstrates data federation via remote schemas and actions (GraphCMS, Heroku, serverless handlers), built-in cell-level security and role-based permissions, observability with tracing and allow lists, and CI-friendly regression tests. Demo claims a cached query drop from 84 ms to 3 ms. Notes MySQL support and SQL Server in preview and that the system compiles GraphQL to SQL for efficiency.
