Building Planet Scale Cloud Native Apps with GraphQL & Distributed SQL
summary
Describes Hasura’s metadata engine that transpiles GraphQL to SQL and pushes auth/permissions as Postgres-style RLS; stitches Postgres with Stripe and serverless functions, uses CDC for eventing. Demo runs thousands of orders and recovers after a throttling-induced outage, and the system reaches 1 million active subscriptions in tests. Shows compatibility with Yugabyte and claims the approach gives a stateless, secure API plus scalable storage while supporting real-time GraphQL subscriptions.
