   Bi-directional sync between Postgres and SQLite▲356

   Hi HN, Today we’re launching PowerSync, a Postgres<>SQLite bi-directional sync engine that enables an offline-first app architecture. It currently supports Flutter, React Native and web (JavaScript) using Wasm SQLite in the browser, with more client SDKs on the way. Conrad and I (Ralf) have been working on our sync engine since 2009, originally as part of a full-stack app platform. That version of the system is still used in production worldwide and we’ve learnt a lot from its use cases and scaling. About a year ago we started on spinning off PowerSync as a standalone product that is…

   Render▲318

   Hey HN, I'm Anurag, founder and CEO of Render, a cloud for application developers. We've just launched Render Workflows, a way to define durable tasks by decorating plain TypeScript or Python functions and running them on Render without operating queues, worker pools, retry logic, and state management. Code example below [1]. The use cases we have in mind include agent loops, ETL&#x2F;data pipelines, billing flows, and other long-running jobs. The model is simple: mark an existing function as a Task, deploy the repo as a Workflow, then trigger runs from your application code or via our API.…

    GoatDB – A lightweight, offline-first, realtime NoDB for Deno and React▲90

    Hey HN, We've been experimenting with a real-time, version-controlled NoDB for Deno & React called GoatDB. The idea is to remove backend complexity while keeping apps fast, offline-resilient, and easy to self-host. Runs on the client – No backend required, incremental queries keep things efficient. Self-hosted & lightweight – Deploy a single executable, no server stack needed. Offline-first & resilient – Clients work independently & can restore state after server outages. Edge-native & fast – Real-time sync happens locally with minimal overhead. Why We Built It: We needed something that’s…

    Hi HN, Kyle, Sam and the TanStack team here. We’ve been working on TanStack DB, an embedded, reactive client database for TanStack Query, and are proud to announce today that with the 0.1 release that it's now in BETA! TanStack DB plugs into your existing TanStack Query useQuery calls and uses Differential Dataflow to incrementally recompute only what changed, so updates stay sub-millisecond even with 100k rows. You get live queries, optimistic updates with automatic rollback, and streaming joins — all in the client! TanStack DB works with REST, GraphQL, WebSockets, and shines with sync…
