By Khaled Garbaya
If you are working on a Gatsby project and need a backend, Hasura Cloud is a great option. It provides a powerful GraphQL API and is easy to set up. In this article, we will go through the steps to create a new Hasura Cloud instance for your Gatsby project.
Step 1: Sign Up for Hasura Cloud
The first step is to sign up for Hasura Cloud. You can do this by visiting their website and creating an account. Once you have signed up, you will have access to the Hasura Cloud dashboard where you can create a new project.
Step 2: Create a New Hasura Cloud Project
After signing up and logging in, you can create a new project by clicking on the “Create a New Project” button. You will be prompted to enter a name for your project and select a region for your Hasura Cloud instance to be hosted. Once you have entered this information, click on the “Create” button to create your new project.
Step 3: Configure Your Hasura Cloud Instance
Once your project is created, you will be taken to the project dashboard where you can configure your Hasura Cloud instance. You can set up environment variables, configure auto-scaling, and set up a custom domain for your project. You can also connect your Hasura Cloud instance to a database, such as PostgreSQL, to store your project’s data.
Step 4: Access Your Hasura Cloud GraphQL API
With your Hasura Cloud instance set up, you can now access the GraphQL API that it provides. You can use this API to query and mutate data for your Gatsby project. Hasura Cloud also provides a real-time GraphQL console that you can use to explore your API schema and test your GraphQL queries and mutations.
That’s it! You have now successfully set up a new Hasura Cloud instance for your Gatsby project. With Hasura Cloud, you have a powerful GraphQL API and a scalable backend for your Gatsby project, allowing you to focus on building your frontend without worrying about the backend infrastructure.
Happy coding!
