Hey Pratik. Thank you so much for using Rocketgraph. It is different from Stepzen as it creates a more graular level auth system using Hasura. And also I think their create front-ends from Graphql schemas is pretty awesome. But also there is a lot of scope for development. In fact I had a talk with one of their dev rels about it and I decided that is something good to have in ours too. As of Hasura, it is something I built it on top of. If they weren't there we wouldn't be. But hosting Hasura with Postgres in itself is a good sell I believe as it is not easy to do. On top of that I provide serverless functions and auth too. I have read on several forums where developers told that they would pay just for hosting Hasura itself. And this is different from Supabase in may ways. It's solutions are not "organic", in the sense for example they use deno as a runtime for their serverless whereas I use just the regular node-express with node-express-lambda(just a hook for aws lambdas). So it is more developer friendly. Plus they enforce rules on Postgres whereas I have another layer(Hasura) which enforces granular level auth policies on your PG data.

I have taken inspiration from Platforms like Supabase and made something that I believes solves a problem in a better way. Please do reply if you would like to add to this. And thanks so much for using Rocketgraph and giving feedback.
