Hasura is a privately held software technology company that builds developer tooling products, including open source tools, backend as a service (BaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) products.[1][2] The Hasura GraphQL Engine provides GraphQL APIs over new or existing Postgres databases.[3] The Hasura Kubernetes Platform is a managed platform for building, deploying, and managing applications on Kubernetes.[4][5] The company was spun-off from 34 Cross, a start-up based in Chennai,[6] and as of 2020 has offices in San Francisco and Bangalore.[7]

History

Prior to founding Hasura, founders Tanmai Gopal and Rajoshi Ghosh started an online food delivery platform, Find a Kadai (lit. Find a Shop).[6] While building the platform, they realised that there were questions of what stack and which programmes to use. They found that they were solving some core issues like getting a C library to communicate with a Python library and integrate the best that is available, while checking app performance. This is how their startup gradually transitioned from a food delivery platform, to building tools for developers.[8]

The technology created for the platform was a database platform that combined the use of a NoSQL API with transaction management, called "Procrust.es." as a toolkit to be used by developers. The toolkit evolved into the Hasura platform, which was introduced in February 2017.[8]

In 2017, the company started a free online course (MOOC)[9] called Introduction to Modern Application Development (IMAD), in partnership with IIT Madras.[10][11][12]

In April 2018, the company announced that it has raised $1.6 million seed capital from Nexus Venture Partners[13] and GREE Ventures.[11][14][15]

Hasura became a certified vendor of the Certified Kubernetes Conformance Program, which was created by The Cloud Native Computing Foundation 2018.[16]

In July 2018, the company announced the open source release of the Hasura GraphQL Engine to enable developers to set up GraphQL endpoints on their existing postgres applications.[17] In September 2018, the company introduced an open source event trigger system on Postgres for building serverless apps.[18][19]

In 2020 the company raised Series A and Series B in venture capital funding mere 6 months apart, taking its total capital raised to $36.5 Million dollars.[20]

Products
