The Hasura newsletter: Database previews & stories for fast scaling startups on Hasura

[Hasura][Hasura]() Hey there! Hasura Preview Apps is live! This feature got a lot of excitement from users when we previewed it during Hasura & our community call. It's going to have a big impact on your/your team’s CI/CD workflow! We started a new series of webinars where we invite users to talk about how they’re using Hasura and we’ve already got some incredible stories including how Cajoo moved from Shopify to Hasura in 4 weeks with just 3 devs. It’s filled with actionable takeaways for anyone using Hasura. You should definitely check it out! And as I mentioned in the last newsletter - A few folks from Hasura, Tanmai, and I are going to be live at AWS re:Invent this year! If you’re going to be there, I’d love to meet you. Highlights - Try out our latest feature - [Preview Apps]()! - Meet us live at [AWS re:Invent 2021]() - Migrating to Hasura: How Cajoo [migrated from Shopify](), and Runn [migrated from RoR]() - Have a question about working with Hasura? Ask us live during our [Office Hours](). Preview Apps This new CI/CD feature is a continuation of our previously introduced GitHub Integration workflow, that allows you to link a GitHub repository to a Hasura Cloud project and deploy metadata and migrations automatically. With the preview apps API, you can now spin up preview apps on Hasura Cloud directly from your GitHub Pull Requests. This will help pre-production environments, where you can integrate this into your workflow and make preview changes more efficiently. This feature uses the new preview app APIs and the `hasura/hasura-cloud-preview-apps` GitHub action. Check out the docs on preview apps to learn more and get started.

You can read all about the contest [here](). This month's recommendation comes from Shraddha Aggarwal, an engineer at Hasura: I’ve been reading [The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green]() recently. I chanced upon this book from the YouTube video [The Past We Can Never Return]() to by Kurzgesagt. It’s a collection of essays on a spectrum of topics where the author rates things out of five stars. These things absurdly range from the Halley’s Comet to the bacteria Staphylococcus Aureus to human’s capacity for wonder. What's interesting to me is that each subject matter is not only looked at objectively, rather the author has a deeply personal take on it which more often than not is so earnestly hopeful in such “intoxicatingly rhythmic prose”. If you’re not a reader, luckily this was a [podcast]() before it got published as a book, by the same name.
