One thing is that it's open source, not proprietary. You can run it on your own servers, modify it, etc, for free.

Another thing is it's Node, and can be used as a plug-in to your express app. This can make it easier to customize and extend over time. Eg; have parts of your schema be postgraphile and parts be custom JS.

Hasura isn't proprietary though? It's OSS software, code lives on the GH repo:

My apologies! I'm not sure why I misremembered that. Perhaps I was confusing it with Prisma... Which appears to be open-source as well now. Hmm, my mind must be playing tricks on me.

Regardless, thank you for the correction!
