S7 E20: Engineering a $1B GraphQL Data Federation Engine: Real-Time DB Queries with Tanmai Gopal of Hasura

Jan 24, 2023 · Season 7 · Episode 20 · 28 min

API's 100x faster than the one you built.

Tanmai Gopal studied computer science, and specialize in computer vision and machine learning. He found himself frustrated with the pace at which his research work was getting exposure, so he expedited his jump into industry, which help solidify the foundation for his current venture. Outside of tech, he reads a lot, hikes and travels. For the readers, he highly recommends N.K. Jemisin, Charlie Jane-Anders and Namoi Novak.

Tanmai and his colleagues became outright frustrated with building API's just to build products. He began wondering what it would take to not do that work anymore, and after breaking down the process to its simplest form - data mapping and security authorization - he had a bead on how to do that.

This is the creation story of Hasura.
