Case Study: U.S. House of Representatives modernizes its tech stack with Hasura

U.S. House of Representatives modernizes a 30-year-old tech stack with Hasura

The U.S. House of Representatives faced the challenge of modernizing its 30-year-old technology stack to improve security, processes, and productivity. Their Legislative Applications department needed to consolidate complex data from disparate sources, provide a cleaner architecture for business logic, and reduce the time developers spent creating repetitive data APIs. To address this, they chose Hasura to power their new GraphQL data access layer.

Hasura provided instant GraphQL APIs, integrated seamlessly with their existing ASP.NET Web APIs via Actions, and offered robust security with role-based permissions. This solution enabled the House of Representatives to centralize its data layer, achieve a cleaner application architecture using a CQRS pattern, and significantly improve developer productivity by eliminating the need to build CRUD APIs. The results included faster development times and a streamlined, future-proof tech stack.
