In this blog post, we dive deep into a benchmarking project designed to showcase the performance characteristics of Apollo and Hasura GraphQL Engine connected with Oracle RDS when handling large datasets.

CockroachDB Serverless is a great choice of database, as it auto-scales based on load, making it an ideal Hasura partner for highly concurrent workloads.

This post will benchmark Hasura against a handwritten Node.js GraphQL server. The end goal is to show how Hasura performs similarly despite being significantly easier to develop.
