Hasura is built around GraphQL. If your team uses REST (like most enterprise teams), DataKook generates standard REST endpoints with Swagger documentation — no GraphQL learning curve required.
Hasura generates APIs. DataKook generates APIs AND gives you a full database management UI, AI SQL assistant, schema diagrams, data editing, and no-code app builder.
DataKook deploys from the Azure Marketplace, bills through Microsoft, integrates with Azure AD natively, and keeps all data in your subscription. No third-party cloud accounts needed.
DataKook's AI assistant, natural language SQL, and MCP Server give your team AI superpowers while keeping data private. Hasura offers no AI capabilities.
