Manually Move Hasura Cloud v1.3 Projects to Hasura v2.0
Introduction
Hasura Cloud now creates new projects with Hasura v2.0 by default. Due to some underlying architectural changes in
v2.0, existing projects have not yet been upgraded to v2.0.
In the meanwhile it is possible to manually "move" your project to use Hasura v2.0. You will lose any scheduled events
and the history of your processed events and async actions in the process though.
Do check the changelog first to see what changes and features have been introduced.
Move existing v1.3 project to a v2.0 project
As it is not possible to actually upgrade your v1.3 project to v2.0, you will have to essentially create a new
Hasura Project with v2.0 and connect it with your database with the same Hasura Metadata as in the previous project.
Step 1: Export Metadata from existing project
See exporting metadata to get a copy of the current Hasura Metadata on your project.
Do ensure no further changes are made to the Hasura Metadata post this.
Step 2: Create a v2.0 Cloud project
See Step 1 of creating projects to create a new Hasura Cloud v2.0 project.
Step 3: Connect your database with the name default to the new project
See Step 2 of creating projects to connect your existing database to the new
project. Please ensure you set the database name as default.
After connecting a database to a v2.0 project it will not be usable with a v1.3 project. Hence it is recommended to
stop your v1.3 project before doing this.
Step 4: Apply the exported Metadata to the new project
See applying metadata to apply the earlier exported Metadata to the new project.
Your GraphQL API should now be regenerated as in the earlier v1.3 project.
