Hasura: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Hasura provides a GraphQL and REST API layer that sits on top of existing databases and other data sources, with access control and webhooks triggered by database events. Its open-source GraphQL Engine is the core product that developers can run themselves. The company also offers commercial products, including Hasura DDN, a data delivery network for federated data APIs, and PromptQL, an AI-driven data access product.

Hasura, Inc. is based in San Francisco, California. Its privacy policy says it stores personal information in the United States, India, Ireland, Belgium, France and the United Kingdom, and that transfers rely on EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. The GraphQL Engine is licensed under Apache 2.0, so organisations can run the core on infrastructure they control, while the commercial products are not open source. The ownership of the company is not stated on the public pages. For a European organisation, the choice lies between self-hosting the open-source core and using a US-operated service.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Hasura

Hasura is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Hasura hosts data in EU, US, OTHER. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

Hasura is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Hasura together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
