Mini Series on Hasura with Vercel Integration

Introduction

• Welcome to the mini series about working with Hasura and the Vercel platform.
• Past content covered integration, but now there is an official Vercel integration with Hasura cloud.

Key Releases

• HasuraCon 22 Updates
  • Official Vercel integration to connect to Hasura Cloud.
  • Automatic import of GraphQL endpoint, admin secret, and other variables.
  • Enhanced shipping speed for features.
• GitHub Integration
  • Now generally available (out of beta).
  • Allows leveraging CI/CD elegantly for a better developer experience.
  • Ship one folder; both metadata changes and Vercel project updates are automated.

Focus of the Tutorial

• Step-by-step setup from scratch to demonstrate integration.
• Goal to show ease of connecting different pieces:
  • Composable components allow swapping parts easily (e.g., frameworks, styling libraries).
  • Each component is designed to function independently of others.

Project Overview

• Project Example: Backyard Pizza Project
  • Creating an overly engineered pizza ordering system for backyard parties.
  • Goal: Enable guests to order pizza while the host manages the cooking.

Next Steps

• Video Breakdown:
  1. Set up a local version of Hasura.
  2. Create the project and track metadata changes.
  3. Connect to GitHub for CI/CD deployment to the cloud.
  4. Link to a Vercel project also tied to GitHub CI/CD.
• Aim: Trigger changes and publish in a versioned manner via GitHub actions.

Conclusion

• Upcoming videos will layer features onto the pizza management system.
• Looking forward to demonstrating the power of the platform as we progress.
