AWS AppSync vs Hasura

Developers should use AWS AppSync when building applications that require real-time data synchronization, such as chat apps, collaborative tools, or live dashboards, as it provides built-in WebSocket support for subscriptions meets developers should use hasura when they need to rapidly prototype or build applications with graphql apis, especially for projects requiring real-time features like live queries or subscriptions. Here's our take.

AWS AppSync

Nice Pick

Developers should use AWS AppSync when building applications that require real-time data synchronization, such as chat apps, collaborative tools, or live dashboards, as it provides built-in WebSocket support for subscriptions

Pros

  • +It's also valuable for mobile and web apps needing offline data access and conflict resolution, thanks to its client-side data stores and automatic synchronization when connectivity is restored
  • +Related to: graphql, aws-lambda

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Hasura

Developers should use Hasura when they need to rapidly prototype or build applications with GraphQL APIs, especially for projects requiring real-time features like live queries or subscriptions

Pros

  • +It's ideal for startups, MVPs, or teams looking to accelerate development by leveraging existing PostgreSQL databases without extensive backend coding
  • +Related to: graphql, postgresql

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use AWS AppSync if: You want it's also valuable for mobile and web apps needing offline data access and conflict resolution, thanks to its client-side data stores and automatic synchronization when connectivity is restored and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Hasura if: You prioritize it's ideal for startups, mvps, or teams looking to accelerate development by leveraging existing postgresql databases without extensive backend coding over what AWS AppSync offers.
