I built a SQLite VFS in Rust that serves cold queries directly from S3 with sub-second performance, and often much faster. It’s called turbolite. It is experimental, buggy, and may corrupt data. I would not trust it with anything important yet. I wanted to explore whether object storage has gotten fast enough to support embedded databases over cloud storage. Filesystems reward tiny random reads and in-place mutation. S3 rewards fewer requests, bigger transfers, immutable objects, and aggressively parallel operations where bandwidth is often the real constraint. This was explicitly inspired…

A lightweight engine for durable execution / deterministic workflows I built with Rust, wasmtime and the WASM Component Model. Its main use is running reliable, long-running workflows that can automatically resume after failures. Looking for feedback on the approach and potential use cases!

Every data pipeline job I had to tackle required quite a few components to set up: - One tool to ingest data - Another one to transform it - If you wanted to run Python, set up an orchestrator - If you need to check the data, a data quality tool Let alone this being hard to set up and taking time, it is also pretty high-maintenance. I had to do a lot of infra work, and while this being billable hours for me I didn’t enjoy the work at all. For some parts of it, there were nice solutions like dbt, but in the end for an end-to-end workflow, it didn’t work. That’s why I decided to build an…

Hello Everyone! We built SQLFlow as a lightweight stream processing engine. We leverage DuckDB as the stream processing engine, which gives SQLFlow the ability to process 10's of thousands of messages a second using ~250MiB of memory! DuckDB also supports a rich ecosystem of sinks and connectors! https://sql-flow.com/docs/category/tutorials/ https://github.com/turbolytics/sql-flow We were tired of running JVM's for simple stream processing, and also of bespoke one off stream processors I would love your feedback, criticisms and/or…

Hey Show HN! I’m Toby and over the last few months, I’ve been working with a team of engineers from Airbnb, Apple, Google, and Netflix, to simplify developing data pipelines with SQLMesh (https://github.com/TobikoData/sqlmesh). We’re tired of fragile pipelines, untested SQL queries, and expensive staging environments for data. Software engineers have reaped the benefits of DevOps through unit tests, continuous integration, and continuous deployment for years. We felt like it was time for data teams to have the same confidence and efficiency in development as their peers.…

Hey HN, Spark event logs run into 100s of MBs and offer a wealth of insight into your workloads but making sense of them has always been quite a bit prohibitive. We’ve recently built a lightweight tool that automatically parses Spark event logs and surfaces targeted insights to help you optimize your data jobs. Whether you’re chasing down a bottleneck or balancing performance vs. cost, the profiler got you covered with real-time configuration recommendations, data skew analysis, and more. Curious how it works in action? Check out this quick Loom video for a walk-through:…
