Ask HN: Solo Dev Stack of 2022? | Oct 2022
I've been enjoying developing on top of PostGraphile. https://www.graphile.org/

Good starter: https://github.com/graphile/starter

I can add a column the the db, and my frontend gets that autimagically (in dev mode, it generates a graphql schema out of the db, and from that it creates composables for my frontend wiht graphql-codegen). On the frontend I use Vue 3, the starter is build with nextjs/react.

Someone called it: "hasura for adults”

It's highly customisable, works directly with postgresql row levels security and the performance is quite good. It has a custom GraphiQL gui to work on queries/mutations.

To really see how it all works together checkout the starter project: https://github.com/graphile/starter it has migrations, job queue, graphql-codegen etc.

We’ve accomplished this with a combination of postgraphile and graphql-codegen. Our setup is basically the same as the postgraphile starter app. [0]

It’s pretty awesome.

I'm a big user of graphile - they've also got a pretty good starter boilerplate with auth, etc baked in: https://github.com/graphile/starter

Have you tried it / do you have comparison points? I only poked around in Hasura a bit before deciding it wasn't worth the switching cost atm, but the out of the box upserts are compelling to me.
Hasura raises $9.9M Series A to simplify GraphQL for developers | Feb 2020

That was my conclusion looking at them both last year. Hasura had an amazing first-time UX, but postgraphile felt like it was built with production concerns in mind (testing, integrating with larger codebases, easy to add custom or wrap generated CRUD resolvers in js/ts). The most off-putting thing to me, at the time, was that Hasura's solution for auth was to spin up a separate auth service. I prefer a flexible monolith for anything with less than 10 devs working on it. Looks like postgraphile has started paying attention to the first-time UX, but still not as friendly as Hasura's: https://github.com/graphile/starter

Both feel kind of limited by forcing you to encode a ton of logic in SQL which must be migrated vs a mongoid model you can just tweak and commit, but I guess I'm old school and what's old is new again.
Ask HN: What are some examples of good database schema designs? | Feb 2020
PostGraphile [1] is a framework for generating a GraphQL API based on the tables in your database; as a result, good database design is crucial. Graphile Starter [2] is a quickstart project that demonstrates best practices for getting up and running with PostGraphile quickly. In particular, check out the SQL migration file in that project [3]. It demonstrates:

1. Dividing up tables so that one user can have more than one email address

2. Using PostgreSQL’s “row-level security” system to restrict database results based on the logged in user

3. Dividing tables across multiple schemas for additional security

4. SQL comments for documentation

5. SQL functions for common functionality, such as logging in or verifying an email

It’s a fascinating project, and well worth a look!

Check out Graphile Starter; it’s extremely batteries included! https://github.com/graphile/starter

Check out Graphile Starter; it is a fullstack starter project for building a SaaS with PostGraphile in TypeScript with React (Next.js) and Apollo Client. It has all of the modern tooling preconfigured including type checking, linting, formatting, unit testing, acceptance testing with Cypress, CI via GitHub actions, code generation to increase development velocity and much more. On top of that, the user account system is pre-built with everything you’d expect: login with username/email and password or social login with OAuth, forgot password flow, change password, multiple email management, email verification, etc. It also has a job queue and migration framework built in and preconfigured, plus instructions on how to deploy... I’ve put a lot of work into it! https://github.com/graphile/starter

Check out postgraphile, and graphile starter - https://github.com/graphile/starter

Combined with graphql-codegen you can essentially generate react hooks from a Postgres schema. It’s awesome - and all typed if you’re using typescript too
