An ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) is a programming technique that allows developers to interact with a database using object-oriented programming languages instead of writing raw SQL queries.

It maps database tables to classes and rows to objects, enabling developers to work with database records as if they were objects in their code.

Hasura is a platform that provides instant GraphQL APIs on top of your PostgreSQL databases. It acts as a layer between your application and the database, allowing you to query and manipulate data using GraphQL, which simplifies the development process and reduces the need for boilerplate code.
