   My sense of Hasura is that it's great for CRUD prototyping, but every usage ends up requiring a more fully fledged backend in the mix anyway? Hasura can't implement your business logic. If Hasura is my first-stage backend, that me

   I use reducing the rate of incoming tickets as the primary OKR for on-call engineers. Has never failed to reduce that burden over time. Just like you say - I'm convinced it's the only correct strategy to make the problem go away.

    I've found the opposite. Designing a GraphQL API with the extended tail of important features has been an awful lot harder than with REST Apis. That's not just in terms of idioms (which are useful for abstraction layer sake), but

    My strategy over the years has been to build a whole lot of otherwise useless side projects with incrementally different stacks, optimizing for doing it well with different technology instead of cobbling them together quickly.
