Grafbase March 2023 Update

Hey!

We are thrilled to share with you all of the latest product updates, resources, and a preview of what we’re working on next.

Let’s get right into it…

Product Updates

March has been an exciting month packed with feature updates, new resources, and preparing for Launch Week in a couple weeks!

• GraphQL Live Queries with Houdini

Build realtime applications faster than ever using GraphQL Live Queries and Houdini GraphQL. Houdini’s Live Queries plugin was the topic of March’s Twitter Space where maintainers Alec and Jean-Yves talked about the process of adding support for Live Queries and what’s ahead for Houdini GraphQL with React.

• Pipedream Integration

Build and run event-driven workflows using the Grafbase API. Use thousands of triggers and actions across thousands of apps.

• Project Usage

Track usage in the dashboard by viewing metrics around API requests and database units with read, write, and storage. Track these metrics in real-time, and by projects that belong to organizations.
