Summary

Dusty Domains was a successful initiative by Netlify that encouraged participants to turn unused domains into published websites on the platform. Netlify and its partners contributed matching donations to charities, raising over $100k for Code2040, Resilient Coders, STEM Tank, and Black Girls Code. Hasura participated in this initiative by using their new REST Connectors feature to create a GraphQL API wrapper for AirTable data, providing real-time updates for the funding bar graph on the Dusty Domains site. This collaboration showcases how modern Jamstack tools like Hasura and Netlify Functions can accelerate website building and deployment.
