[Hasura Newsletter] Introducing our latest feature — GraphQL Joins!

Hasura now lets you join data across multiple GraphQL services. [Hasura][Hasura]() Hi there, Last month I teased a big feature and it’s finally here! I’m thrilled to announce GraphQL Joins — a feature that lets you create a unified GraphQL API by joining data from different GraphQL services. It is the next step in our ongoing journey to make data access as simple as possible for teams and individual developers. You can read all about it in our product updates section below so let’s get started with May’s newsletter! Highlights - Our monthly Community Call [starts today](), May 26, at 9 AM PT. - The first round of [talks and workshops]() for HasuraCon is live. Register now! - Join Tanmai Gopal and Spencer Kimball, CEO, Cockroach Labs, for an [online fireside chat]() about serverless data for APIs and product development at the edge. - We are hiring! Check out our [open roles]()! GRAPHQL JOINS GraphQL Joins lets you instantly join data across different GraphQL services to create a unified GraphQL API. You can use it to federate queries and mutations across multiple GraphQL services as if they were a single GraphQL schema. And you can do this without having to modify the underlying APIs, write extra code, or change the upstream GraphQL service! Here are a few use-cases that GraphQL Joins enables: - For Hasura users: Run custom mutations and queries on your GraphQL service that return references to entities in your database powered by Hasura. - For teams with multiple GraphQL services: Unify and join across multiple in-house or 3rd party GraphQL services. - For teams with great REST APIs already in place: If you have an OpenAPI (swagger) spec-ed API that maps well to a GraphQL schema automatically, use GraphQL Joins to create relationships between the different entities and prevent N+1 queries on the client. You can read more about GraphQL Joins in our announcement post below. [INTRODUCING GRAPHQL JOINS]() We’ve also put together some resources for you to get up to speed on GraphQL Joins: - Prefer video? Check out Tanmai Gopal’s [5-minute introduction](). - [Here's a demo]() of GraphQL Joins in action. - We recorded an in-depth stream on how to use GraphQL Joins to [build an app](). Community Call Join us this morning, May 26 at 9 AM PT for our monthly Community Call. Here are a few highlights: Authorization Patterns with Hasura: In this session, we will explore some interesting patterns with Hasura's authorization system. This should give a conceptual model for the Authz system and some practical examples to show the wide variety of use-cases that can be covered natively with Hasura. MSSQL is getting event triggers: We’ll run through a live demo of how to use event triggers with MSSQL We’ve also got more demos lined up: - Hiding root-level fields - camelCase for generated names As always, the Hasura product and engineering teams will host live Q&As!

The team was looking for a solution to map an intensely complex RBAC model for OHTRU. After months of work, they were no closer to solving the problem. A late-night research project led them to Hasura. Using Hasura’s access controls, they solved their problem within one week and have a production application in two months. They joined us for an [in-depth discussion]() about how they are using Hasura’s access controls and metadata CLI. Tooling from the Community - [Unofficial Hasura iOS SDK]() — The team at Related Code launched an SDK to work with Hasura servers easily. Jobs from the Community - [Countfire]() is hiring senior or mid-level developers for remote (London) positions. - [Sparkademy]() is hiring a senior full-stack developer for a remote (European or American time zones) position. And as I mentioned earlier, [we’re hiring too]()! This month’s recommendations come from Koushik from our design team: [Sabine Hossenfelder]() is a German physicist who uses solid epistemological principles to do everything ranging from debunking conspiracy theories to explaining black hole physics. Another recommendation is [The Timeless Way of Building]() — an essential read for anyone who is interested in design and creativity. The central theme of the book is to understand the "quality without a name" using complexity and ontological design philosophy. --------------------------------------------------------------- That’s all we have for this newsletter!
