Case Study: Pulley cut development time by 50% with Hasura
Key results
The challenge
Pulley, a Y Combinator alumnus offering cap table and equity management, needed to balance rapid feature iteration with the security of sensitive financial data. Its architecture combined PostgreSQL, a Go backend, and a React frontend, requiring a universal data-access layer across 50+ database tables and minimal rewrites during frequent schema changes.
The solution
Pulley adopted Hasura to auto-generate GraphQL schemas and resolvers from its PostgreSQL database, removing manual API development and using Hasura's built-in role-based authorization to secure data during rapid iteration.
“By using Hasura we cut the development time in half and built our product in 3 months.”
