Products that do what Flatsauce – Database with Decoupled Storage and Compute does
Hi HN, this is Soheil (https://flatsauce.com). Flatsauce is a cloud database service that separates storage from compute while horizontally scaling your database cluster. Think of it as a Postgres read/write cluster with several nodes except that all the nodes in Flatsauce share the same storage. Flatsauce intelligently routes data between the nodes and incorporates a file locking mechanism to ensure there is no data corruption. In traditional read/write replication scenarios usually a write instance is the source of truth. First data is written to the write server then…

Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…

This is a MVP for Serverless Postgres. 1/ It uses Fly.io[0], which can automatically pause your database after all connections are released (and start it again when new connections join). 2/ It uses Oriole[1], a Postgres extension with experimental support for S3 / Decoupled Storage[2]. 3/ It uses Tigris[3], Globally Distributed S3-Compatible Object Storage. Oriole will automatically backup the data to Tigris using background workers. I wouldn't recommend using this in production, but I think it's in a good spot to provoke some discussion and ideas. You can get it running…

Hey folks, We are the team behind Slik. Over the past year, we have been hacking on SlikSafe [1] a Dropbox alternative where all your data is first encrypted on your own device and then stored on decentralized storage. Some features we're most excited about are - - multi-device data sync, - auto-backups via desktop apps, - search your docs by name or contents with end-to-end encryption, - easy sharing via email, QR-code or private-link, - Password-less login using MetaMask/Phantom We leverage storage providers IPFS and Storj for global redundancy, reliability, and immutability. You can…

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…

Recently created a minimal persistent relational database in Go. Main focus was on implementing & understanding working the of database, storage management & transaction handling. Use of B+ Tree for storage engine(support for indexing), managing a Free List (for reusing nodes), Support for transactions, Concurrent Reads. Still have many things to add & fix like query processing being one of the main & fixing some bugs Repo link - https://github.com/Sahilb315/AtomixDB Would love to hear your thoughts
