Rebase vs Hasura
Hasura is phenomenal at generating GraphQL APIs over Postgres. But APIs alone don't solve back-office problems. See why teams prefer Rebase when they need instant Admin Panels and tight logic bundling alongside their generated endpoints.
Missing Admin Interfaces
The Hasura Pain
Hasura purely focuses on the API layer. While it creates GraphQL instantly, it gives nothing to your non-technical teammates. To manage the data going through those APIs, you still have to build an admin panel from scratch or cobble it together with Retool.
How Rebase Solves This
Rebase generates both the API layer AND the application layer.
- Rebase generates real REST/GraphQL APIs based on your Postgres Schema.
- Rebase ALSO generates a gorgeous, React-based Admin tool with out-of-the-box editing, auditing, and dashboards.
Fragmented Logic Networks
The Hasura Pain
When you need to run business logic in Hasura (e.g. charging a Stripe customer when a row is inserted), you have to set up "Actions" or "Event Triggers"—which requires you to stand up, deploy, and maintain an entirely separate server backend to receive webhooks.
How Rebase Solves This
Rebase is a unified Node.js backend environment.
- Your custom business logic runs in the exact same Node process as your generated endpoints.
- No network hop latency for internal triggers, no disjointed webhook configurations.
- Maintain everything elegantly in one TypeScript repository.
