Constellation is a Hasura-compatible GraphQL engine written in Go, designed as a drop-in replacement for Hasura CE with lower memory usage and open-source commitment. Built by Nhost to replace the deprecated Hasura v2, it provides a role-based GraphQL API over PostgreSQL and SQLite while maintaining full metadata compatibility. Its lightweight footprint and fresh Go architecture make it a practical, high-performance alternative for production GraphQL backends.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, data engineers
