About:
PostGraphile is an instant GraphQL API server for your PostgreSQL database. It intelligently constructs a powerful GraphQL schema by reflecting your database's structure, including tables, relationships, and functions. This allows developers to build robust applications without writing extensive boilerplate resolvers.

Key Features:

Automatic schema generation from PostgreSQL
Real-time updates via GraphQL Subscriptions
High performance with connection pooling
Extensible with plugins for custom logic

Use Cases:

Rapidly prototyping backends for modern web applications
Adding a GraphQL API layer to existing PostgreSQL databases
Building real-time dashboards and collaborative tools

Alternatives:

Hasura – Hasura offers a similar auto-generated GraphQL API but focuses more on a GUI-driven approach and multi-database support.
Prisma – Prisma is an ORM that requires explicit schema definition and code generation, offering more control but less automation than PostGraphile.
