    From the README

    The Hasura engine is an open source project which supercharges the building of modern applications by providing access to data via a single, composable, secure API endpoint.

    The future of data delivery is GA: Supporting PostgreSQL (and its flavors), MongoDB, ClickHouse, and MS SQL Server. Also supports writing custom business logic using the Typescript, Python, and Go Connector SDKs. Here is the recommended Getting Started guide on DDN.

    The Hasura v3 engine code, which powers Hasura DDN, is in the v3 folder of this repo. You can find more detailed information about this v3 README.

    The Hasura DDN architecture includes Data Connectors to connect to data sources. All Hasura connectors are also available completely open source. Check out the Connector Hub which lists all available connectors.

    Hasura V2 is the current stable version of the Hasura GraphQL Engine. Please find more detailed information about the V2 Hasura Graphql Engine in the v2 folder and this README.
