It would be nice if Dgraph Cloud would expose the `/admin/schema/validate` endpoint.

I’m building a CD pipeline for Dgraph, and it’s necessary to validate schema independently of applying it.

Is there another solution I’m missing perhaps?

Hey,  
You can run a dgraph container locally to validate the schema before sending it to the cloud.  
In this repo you can find an example in CI:
