Hey Hashnoders 👋, we've decided to continue the strike for the 3rd month in a row with another huge hackathon. Presenting to you the Hasura x Hashnode Hackathon! 🎉
About Hasura
Hasura offers instant GraphQL APIs for your data within minutes for free! Run Hasura, locally or in the cloud, and connect it to your new or existing databases to instantly get a production-grade GraphQL API.
Hasura:
- Is compatible with all GraphQL tooling
- Works with Postgres and SQL Server
Hasura’s built-in RLS style authorization engine allows you to conveniently specify authorization rules at a model level, and safely expose the GraphQL API to developers inside or outside your organization. 🔐
About The Hackathon 🎒
Build an open-source app or APIs using Hasura. Publish an article on your Hashnode blog about the process of building and launching your app for a chance to win one of 15 cash prizes!
