What is Hasura?
Hasura is a GraphQL engine that connects to your databases and generates a GraphQL API automatically. It supports queries, mutations and real-time subscriptions. Fine-grained permissions decide what each user role can read or change.
Hasura with PostgreSQL and Azure SQL
PostgreSQL is Hasura's most common database. Hasura also connects to Microsoft SQL Server, including Azure SQL, so teams can expose existing data without rewriting it.
Hasura Cloud vs self-hosted
Hasura Cloud is the managed service, so the vendor runs scaling and monitoring for you. Self-hosted Hasura runs in your own Docker or Kubernetes setup, which suits teams with strict data rules.
Hasura alternatives
Common alternatives are PostGraphile, Supabase and a hand-built Apollo Server. A Hasura developer can compare them against your data, permissions and team skills.
How to hire a Hasura developer
- Share your databases, auth setup and API goals.
- Choose remote, direct hire or employment in the UAE or Saudi Arabia.
- Review vetted profiles and run a live Hasura and GraphQL interview.
- Check English and references, then agree a start date.

Best Places to Hire Hasura Developers
You can hire Hasura developers through five main routes. The best one depends on how long you need the person and how much control you want.
| Where to hire | How it works | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freelance marketplaces | You post a job and hire individuals by the hour or project. | Small, short Hasura tasks | Vetting varies, and freelancers often split time across clients. |
| Job boards and LinkedIn | You advertise and run the hiring process yourself. | Permanent hires where you have an entity | Screening takes your team's time. |
| Specialist recruitment agencies | The agency finds candidates you employ directly. | Senior or hard-to-fill Hasura roles | You still need a legal way to employ the person. |
| Vetted talent networks | A network matches you with pre-screened contractors. | Short projects with fast matching | Hourly rates are usually higher. |
| Staff augmentation providers | The provider employs the developer, who works full time in your team. | Ongoing product work with direct control | You manage daily priorities. |
How to choose
For a one-off task, a freelancer may be enough. For ongoing Hasura work inside your product team, staff augmentation gives you a full-time developer without hiring admin.
Staffenza places remote Hasura developers for USD 225 a month on top of salary. Every candidate passes five steps: CV and portfolio review, technical assessment, live technical interview, English check and references. Read our guide on how to hire remote developers.
