In this video, I build a Netflix Clone using React, Apollo GraphQL, DataStax Astra + Netlify Serverless Functions! For more free credits on top of your already free ones, use code ANIA200 on https://www.datastax.com/

This video is great for those wanting to see how I build an app that fetches data from our Cassandra database using the GraphQL API, as well as learn how to use pagination and slicing. Here are just a few things we will be covering:

As always, please take this project and make it your own. I have done some basic styling for you to get going. This is not a tutorial on styling, it is more to practise your database management skills, so please go wild on the styling yourselves :D! I would love to see what you have made!!
