I thought 1.4 (turns out they called it 2.0) was going to be all about multi-database access, but reading this post I am exceptionally pleased to discover that this release includes a new REST interface feature. And like everything Hasura seems to do, this feature is most elegant. It looks like you can create a REST endpoint for a GraphQL query that you can craft in GraphiQL, and this works for both queries and mutations. This will be so useful for me in backend services, where right now I am using GraphQL, which I don't think really adds value on the backend. I can't wait to try this out.
A thing that makes me happy about Hasura is they seem to have got licensing down right from the beginning, given what we're seeing with projects like Elasticsearch. I look forward to getting Hasura Pro when I can, and I appreciate that the company has set themselves up having customers and making money.
