CLI (Node.js)
Manual
Detailed Comparison
Execute one command (or mount one Node.js middleware) and get an instant high-performance GraphQL API for your PostgreSQL database | It supports both Active Record and Data Mapper patterns, unlike all other JavaScript ORMs currently in existence, which means you can write high quality, loosely coupled, scalable, maintainable applications the most productive way. |
instant GraphQL schema via reflection over PostgreSQL database API; compiles complex GraphQL queries into very few SQL statements resulting in high performance; built entirely from plugins - heavily customisable; support for PostgreSQL RBAC and RLS; watch mode (monitors for database schema changes) for great DX; standalone server, express middleware, or GraphQL schema; integration with Express auth via pgSettings (e.g. Passport.js, optional); JWT auth (optional); very strong support for PostgreSQL functions; simple to set up and scale | automatically create the database table schemes based on your models;
transparently insert / update / delete to the database your objects;
map your selections from tables to JavaScript objects and map table columns to object properties;
easily create one-to-one, many-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many relations between tables;
and much more. |

What are some alternatives to PostGraphile, TypeORM?
ExpressJS
Express is a minimal and flexible node.js web application framework, providing a robust set of features for building single and multi-page, and hybrid web applications.
Django REST framework
It is a powerful and flexible toolkit that makes it easy to build Web APIs.
GraphQL
GraphQL is a data query language and runtime designed and used at Facebook to request and deliver data to mobile and web apps since 2012.
Sails.js
Sails is designed to mimic the MVC pattern of frameworks like Ruby on Rails, but with support for the requirements of modern apps: data-driven APIs with scalable, service-oriented architecture.
Sinatra
Sinatra is a DSL for quickly creating web applications in Ruby with minimal effort.
Lumen
Laravel Lumen is a stunningly fast PHP micro-framework for building web applications with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable, creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Lumen attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as routing, database abstraction, queueing, and caching.
Slim
Slim is easy to use for both beginners and professionals. Slim favors cleanliness over terseness and common cases over edge cases. Its interface is simple, intuitive, and extensively documented — both online and in the code itself.
Fastify
Fastify is a web framework highly focused on speed and low overhead. It is inspired from Hapi and Express and as far as we know, it is one of the fastest web frameworks in town. Use Fastify can increase your throughput up to 100%.
Falcon
Falcon is a minimalist WSGI library for building speedy web APIs and app backends. We like to think of Falcon as the Dieter Rams of web frameworks.
hapi
hapi is a simple to use configuration-centric framework with built-in support for input validation, caching, authentication, and other essential facilities for building web applications and services.
