In this lesson we will see how you can run Hasura GraphQL engine on top of YugabyteDB Distributed SQL

YugabyteDB is an open source, high-performance distributed SQL database for powering global, internet-scale applications.YugabyteDB is also a cloud-native database, so it can be deployed across both public and private clouds, including Kubernetes environments. In regards to serving as a backend for microservices, YugabyteDB brings together three must-haves: a PostgreSQL-compatible SQL API, low-latency read performance, and globally distributed write scalability. YugabyteDB with its global data distribution brings data close to users for multi-region and multi-cloud deployments.

Set up Hasura GraphQL engine with YugabyteDB distributed SQL

Vladimir Novick: [0:00] To get started, Yugabyte bin Hasura, we'll first create local Yugabyte cluster with a replication factor of three. We'll provide specific tserver flags, specify that we did want to suppress unsupported errors.

[0:27] Now that Hasura's on top of Yugabyte, I can use the docker run and specify port 8080. I also want to specify variance variable Hasura graphQL, database URL so I can point it to my postgres database.

[1:00] I will use both 5433 and Yugabyte database. I also need to specify another environment variable called Hasura graphQL, enable console. If I won't specify that, I won't be able to access the console locally.

[1:26] Now I want to specify the docker image that I wanted to use for this container so it will be Hasura/graphQL-engine:v1.2.1 or it can be latest image. Now if I go to docker ps, I will see that I have the engine is running.

[1:51] It started so I can now access to localhost:8080 and see it there. Let's go to localhost:8080 and I will see our Hasura Console is loaded.
