Managing data with the Hasura Console

The Hasura Console is a web UI that allows you to manage your data and metadata. It is available at http://localhost:8080/console when you run Hasura locally, or from your project's Console endpoint when you use Hasura Cloud.

The data-management features (such as creating tables) are available in the Data tab. You can access your GraphQL API in the API tab and interact with it using the GraphiQL interface.

:::info Console support

We recommend using your preferred Amazon Athena client instead. The Hasura Console is designed to be a tool for managing your GraphQL API, and not a full-fledged database management tool.
