November 2018 Summaries

The Hasura team has introduced a DIY Realtime GraphQL BaaS that utilizes Hasura GraphQL Engine, Auth0, and DigitalOcean to establish a production-ready GraphQL backend in just a few minutes. This solution is similar to Firebase but specifically designed for real-time GraphQL over Postgres on your own infrastructure. It offers the ease of use of a BaaS while maintaining flexibility and control. The setup process involves deploying the Hasura GraphQL engine, creating a schema using the Hasura console, and configuring Auth0 rules and callback URLs to integrate with Hasura. Once set up, users can handle thousands of users on a $5 machine, with the option to upgrade for more capacity.
