GraphQL innovation leader Hasura announced the general availability of the Hasura Data Connector for the Snowflake Data Cloud. With this new GraphQL connector, joint customers can instantly build, deploy, and scale low-latency, high-concurrency APIs on Snowflake to feed data to a variety of multi-tenant data consumers. These new innovations provide a fast, secure, and production-ready API on Snowflake in minutes, allowing developers to quickly build data apps and services directly on Snowflake.
“Hasura enabled us to migrate quickly and easily from PostgreSQL to Snowflake, which is a more performant and scalable platform for serving the APIs and dashboards in our space utilization and analytics platform,” said Matt MacGillivray, Co-founder and VP, R&D of Innerspace. “Rebuilding the API layer with Hasura took practically no time, allowing our team to focus the migration efforts on building a better customer experience.”
