# Hasura

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/data-api/hasura/

Builds a GraphQL API over databases, existing APIs and custom code through connectors, exposing them as one supergraph with authorization, caching and observability attached.

## Who it suits

Putting one GraphQL API over several data sources at once when the free tier's terms matter more than the paid one's: unlimited models at any scale, no cap on API requests or concurrent users, and self-hosting with the v3 engine, all at $0.

Consider something else if The bill has to be predictable before you design the schema. Hasura charges $5 per active model per month, so cost scales with how wide your supergraph is rather than how much traffic it serves, and connector hosting is billed separately by vCPU-hour on top.
