Summary

HMH, a 100+ year old textbook publishing company, partnered with Hasura to improve their digital classroom experience. They faced the challenge of managing limited classroom bandwidth for 30+ users, which led them to look for innovative ways to structure their tech stack and APIs. Hasura's low-code, YAML metadata-based configuration allowed HMH to compress development and feedback cycles immensely, reducing time-to-market by over 3x and API development and testing time by 5x. With Hasura, HMH was able to streamline internal APIs with Snowflake, power their interactive classroom application ClassCraft, and scale to meet future needs, positioning them for continued innovation in the ed-tech space.
