// EDITOR'S TAKE
Nothing here reproduces Hasura's one-command GraphQL over an existing Postgres schema, but Tailcall comes closest by generating a GraphQL layer over databases and APIs from a declarative config, with better runtime performance and considerably more wiring on your part. WunderGraph and Hive solve the half Hasura teams grow into, federation and schema governance, while Cube only fits analytical queries.
