Cross Database Joins with GraphQL enables users to join data across multiple databases and remote GraphQL servers, providing a seamless experience of all data being in a single database. 3. Schema Sharing allows users to share permissions, relationships, and advanced Hasura features, as well as data models, logical implementations, and extension examples. 4. Git-based Workflows for CI/CD on Hasura Cloud enables automation from development to production by deploying local migrations with a simple git push.
