PgQueuer is a Python job queue that uses PostgreSQL for everything — queue storage, locking, notifications. No Redis, no RabbitMQ, no separate broker to operate. If your app already has Postgres, you already have the broker. After ~2 years and 26 minor releases, 1.0 ships today as the first stable release. Strict semver from here on. Thanks to everyone who contributed and left feedback!

Hey HN! Lev and Justin here, authors of PgDog (https://pgdog.dev/), a connection pooler, load balancer and database sharder for PostgreSQL. If you build apps with a lot of traffic, you know the first thing to break is the database. We are solving this with a network proxy that works without requiring application code changes or database migrations. Our post from last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44099187 The most important update: we are in production. Sharding is used a lot, with direct-to-shard queries (one shard per query) working pretty much…

Utilizing Postgres' RLS feature to isolate user data instead of easy-to-forget where-clauses, is such an underrated use case, I really wonder why not more people use it. If you prefer code over the blog post, I've put the full application example on GitHub. Would love to hear your thoughts. https://github.com/simplyblock/example-rls-invoicing

sql-tap is a transparent proxy that captures SQL queries by parsing the PostgreSQL/MySQL wire protocol and displays them in a terminal UI. You can run EXPLAIN on any captured query. No application code changes needed — just change the port.

SnapQL is an open-source desktop app (built with Electron) that lets you query your Postgres database using natural language. It’s schema-aware, so you don’t need to copy-paste your schema or write complex SQL by hand. Everything runs locally — your OpenAI API key, your data, and your queries — so it's secure and private. Just connect your DB, describe what you want, and SnapQL writes and runs the SQL for you.

Hi HN! We just released the public alpha version of Mathesar (https://mathesar.org/, code: https://github.com/centerofci/mathesar). Mathesar is an open source tool that provides a spreadsheet-like interface to a PostgreSQL database. I was originally inspired by wanting to build something like Dabble DB. I was in awe of their user experience for working with relational data. There’s plenty of “relational spreadsheet” software out there, but I haven’t been able to find anything with a comparable UX since Twitter shut Dabble DB down. We're a non-profit…

From the company behind Dolt—the world's first fully versioned database—comes DoltgreSQL, which implements PostgreSQL's variant of SQL. DoltgreSQL is at a very early stage, and we have quite a lot of work left to do, but we'd love to hear all thoughts and opinions!

This is like 4 years old, but I’m braver now and ready to share stuff with this community. I’ve been a lurker for a while. I made this tool - it’s kind of like “explain” but it tells you about what locks would be required by the query. I was making it as part of a larger tool that would try to prevent deadlocks during migrations at my last company, I never finished it.

I've been working on a little project recently to solve a problem that I've encountered at every job I've ever had, and I'm eager for some feedback. Having super granular roles & permissions in PostgreSQL is desirable, but quite difficult to maintain (particularly at smaller companies without dedicated security/devops/DBA/whatever who make it their business to maintain it). I've thought for a while that having a declarative way to manage them would be really useful and allow more teams to actually make use of sophisticated security features that PostgreSQL offers in their…
