Very exciting! Hasura is a beautfiul product and in my mind the killer app for GraphQL.
I thought 1.4 (turns out they called it 2.0) was going to be all about multi-database access, but reading this post I am exceptionally pleased to discover that this release includes a new REST interface feature. And like everything Hasura seems to do, this feature is most elegant. It looks like you can create a REST endpoint for a GraphQL query that you can craft in GraphiQL, and this works for both queries and mutations. This will be so useful for me in backend services, where right now I am using GraphQL, which I don't think really adds value on the backend. I can't wait to try this out.
A thing that makes me happy about Hasura is they seem to have got licensing down right from the beginning, given what we're seeing with projects like Elasticsearch. I look forward to getting Hasura Pro when I can, and I appreciate that the company has set themselves up having customers and making money.
- tango12 6y ago<3 thank you! Recently, we’ve been super excited about exploring the idea of GraphQL as almost an intermediate step in the API lifecycle. This helps bring certain benefits of GraphQL to other domains - esp non internally owned frontend app scenarios. Most important thing is to be guided by real users though as we explore these ideas though, and REST to GraphQL interop was something people really wanted!
