Overview
Space Cloud is an open-source serverless platform that gives teams a GraphQL and REST API layer over databases while also handling service deployment, event triggers, and file storage. It lets you deploy backends to your own Kubernetes cluster with built-in auth, caching, and routing, positioning itself as a Hasura-plus-deployment-platform hybrid.
Where it falls short of Heroku
- Development activity has slowed significantly since 2023
- GraphQL engine feature set lags behind dedicated tools like Hasura
- Documentation and community support are limited
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
