The text discusses best practices for using Hasura, a GraphQL engine. It covers managing business logic through Actions and other approaches such as remote schemas, event triggers, scheduled triggers, and Postgres functions. Fluent GraphQL clients are recommended to prevent GraphQL queries from becoming strings. For dev/staging environments and persisted data, Hasura migrations make management easy. Custom signup flows can be achieved using Actions that call HTTP webhooks or serverless functions. To enable Actions, update the Hasura GraphQL engine to the latest stable version.
