MongoDB
Introduction
Hasura GraphQL Engine v2.27.0 onwards
Hasura currently supports queries, table relationships, remote relationships and permissions on MongoDB databases.
A logical model or database validation schema is required for generating your GraphQL schema.
Get Started
To try Hasura with MongoDB, you'll need a new or existing MongoDB instance (either self-hosted, or available through MongoDB Atlas).
To get started with MongoDB:

Managing data with the Hasura Console
The Hasura Console is a web UI that allows you to manage your data and metadata. It is available at
http://localhost:8080/console when you run Hasura locally, or from your project's Console endpoint when you use
Hasura Cloud.
The data-management features (such as creating tables) are available in the Data tab. You can access your GraphQL API
in the API tab and interact with it using the GraphiQL interface.
We recommend using your preferred MongoDB client instead. The Hasura Console is designed to be a tool for managing your GraphQL API, and not a full-fledged database management tool.
