I've explored multiple Graphql solutions for PostgreSQL in the past and couldn't convince of the resolvers based approach and always felt that an extension would be the right solution. The closest I've come across and used so far is Graphjin https://github.com/dosco/graphjin .
sure, if we're talking free-tier:
Postgres runs in a 1 GB VM all by itself with some optimizations to get the most that limited hardware
All other services are in a second 1 GB VM.
You can see a list of those services here https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/docker/dock...
The memory use per process can differs by use-case, so its important to leave a bit of headroom. For example, PostgREST's memory consumption can grow if the amount of data being returned from its queries is large.
By the time you include:
It's a VERY fragile support:

Basically, if two entities in the databases have the same names, Hasura fails unless you manually define a unique `custom_name` for each such entity.
Given that the most common multiple database scenario involves different databases with either the exact same schema (one-db-per-tenant) or similar schemas (staging vs. production database), it forces you to painstakingly set a custom_name for basically every single entity in your db.
Thankfully there is an API so in theory you could set this programmatically, but it still means that your client code needs to be manually kept in-sync with whatever custom name generator rule you used.
