Hasura: Actions with federations #9795

Open silicon-ninja opened 1 year ago

silicon-ninja commented 1 year ago

Is your proposal related to a problem?

So right now actions are more kinda like extensions to hasura-engine right ? which you can perform intermediately. Right now I guess the issue is it still uses REST API to do that to perform an actions as web hook since Hasura is also considering on moving towards AI and ML applications with VectorDB. I felt there can be something that can be done here !

Describe the solution you'd like

Well the solution is considering graphql federations from Apollo. This involves using hasura as a gateway server to extend the use of actions, eliminating the need to use HTTP-based REST endpoints. By adopting this approach, hasura can become the central GraphQL-based gateway for applications, allowing for more flexible and efficient handling of actions.

Describe alternatives you've considered

nope

@silicon-ninja Here is the latest doc about Hasura's Multi-protocol Data Federation. As you can see, we support Federations involving actions, for certain use cases.
