InsForge▲622We built InsForge because we wanted to use pure prompts to build a production-grade app faster. In practice, AI isn’t reliable enough when generating code or configuring backend pieces like schema, RLS, auth, or functions. Postgres MCP and Supabase MCP are a good starting point, but they felt more like API wrappers for agents than something designed to guide AI safely through backend tasks. So we built our own MCP server on top of Postgres and added a set of context-engineering tools to make prompt-driven workflows more predictable. It gradually turned into a Postgres-based BaaS. Key…

I built DDL to Data after repeatedly pushing back on "just use production data and mask it" requests. Teams needed populated databases for testing, but pulling prod meant security reviews, PII scrubbing, and DevOps tickets. Hand-written seed scripts were the alternative slow, fragile, and out of sync the moment schemas changed. Paste your CREATE TABLE statements, get realistic test data back. It parses your schema, preserves foreign key relationships, and generates data that looks real, emails look like emails, timestamps are reasonable, uniqueness constraints are honored. No setup, no…

Hello, Hacker News! I'm Erik, cofounder of Release (YCW20). At Release we help “virtualize” your environment, so you can quickly reproduce it for various purposes: remote development, testing, staging, or even running production. But, today I would like to introduce our most popular feature that we are now offering for free: Instant Datasets! Instant Datasets allows you to easily create multiple pools of datasets and distribute them to your teams and it cleans up after itself. Imagine you have multiple production databases in RDS and you need that data when doing testing and development. I…

I got sick of the old software development loop: Change code -> Run tests -> wait -> wait some more -> look at failures. I decided to build a tool that will enable you to: Change code -> look at failures. No wait time, no explicit test running. Under the hood: - Runs the whole test suite and collects code coverage per test. - For each auto file save, analyzes the changes on the tests. - Runs changed tests in the background. - Display results, the loop time from change to test results is approx 250ms. Instead of: code -> alt+tab -> arrow up -> rerun all the tests -> wait ... -> test results…
