Scaling to 1 million active GraphQL subscriptions (live queries)

By Hasura Team

Hasura is a very convincing proposition: build GraphQL queries directly over you PostgreSQL database, who wouldn’t like that? But the performance the Hasura team has built for has been largely unappreciated. Here’s a look at what it takes to scale a Hasura deployment to 1 million concurrent GraphQL subscriptions (and it’s surprisingly little).

By Robin Wieruch

And to complement the above guide on useEffect, we recommend this deeply technical and full of examples dive into the other “uses” of React. Strap in for this one, it’s not light reading – but it’s essential.

Bonus! For those long summer nights, we recommend something a little bit denser – a paper on the impact of programming language choice on code quality.
