Are there any ”api from postgres db” projects that are written in Node.js?

I was about to say “but this one is!” and realized I had confused PostgREST with PostGraphile. If you’re interested in GraphQL, you can check out PostGraphile here: https://github.com/graphile/postgraphile

It’s interesting to me that PostgREST and Hasura are written in Haskell, but PostGraphile is not. Given the complexity in parsing arbitrary GQL queries I think I assumed that Haskell was a better fit for the job, hence the mixup!

Graphile (https://www.graphile.org/) and Prisma (https://www.prisma.io/)

Prisma has pivoted to be “just” a Node.JS ORM a few years ago (I work there). You can still use it to build an API of course, but you will need some additional tool or libraries.

Directus is actually one. You get the front end which is basically an admin UI, but you also get a full blown fully featured REST API

Out of curiosity why would you prefer a DB foundation implemented in Node over a mature project in Haskell?

Yes, but like most large FOSS Node projects, they're dead or under-maintained (huge number of GitHub issues). There are none I'd use today.

Are you aware of supabase? It's rather nice.
