GRPC/ Protobuffer support for Hasura Actions about graphql-engine

[manasag]

Hi @spoilerdo, In Hasura V3 architecture, Actions are now powered by Connectors. Connectors based on a standardised SDK provided by Hasura can help integrate any external APIs, business logic into Hasura. To start with, we are building Typescript based connectors (e.g. NodeJS connector). In V3 world, it's would be much easy to write a gRPC connector as you described.

We would like to understand your gRPC requirements (shape of protobufs etc), that helps us work on early designs and may be provide guidance on connector development.

Thx for the quick response. I am looking forward to Hasura V3 then :))

I think there was a misunderstanding. Hasura v3 was released 2023-12-19 and has been available at the time of writing already.

The chance here is to scope a gRPC Connector built with the Hasura SDK to implement custon gRPC Actions.

@spoilerdo Would you like to share your use case, in so other interested parties can learn from it? Sharing your general or specific requirements will allow developers taking on the task to know what is being expected.

Since this conversation didn't happen such a long time ago, this may still be an ongoing concern of yours?

Edit: The v3 work has been announced, not *released. It happens around the corner in:
