24 alternatives to Iceberg-JS, a TypeScript Client for the Apache Iceberg REST Catalog

This is a small, framework-agnostic JavaScript/TypeScript client for the Apache Iceberg REST Catalog. It is good for managing the catalog (eg: managing tables), and it's MIT licensed. The goals: - Generic: Works with any Iceberg REST Catalog implementation, not tied to any specific vendor - Minimal: Thin HTTP wrapper over the official REST API, no engine-specific logic - Type-safe: First-class TypeScript support with strongly-typed request/response models - Fetch-based: Uses native fetch API with support for custom implementations - Universal: Targets Node 20+ and modern browsers…

    Hi HN, I’m one of the creators of this project. We noticed that while many developers want to experiment with Apache Iceberg the "entry cost" is often high. You usually have to set up your own storage buckets, configure a catalog (like Hive), and ingest data before you can even run a single SELECT statement. We wanted to lower that barrier. We’ve hosted a production-grade Iceberg REST Catalog on BigLake with public datasets (starting with the NYC Taxi data) that anyone can query. You can point Spark, Trino, or Flink directly at the REST endpoint and start querying immediately. You do need a…

    Yes, another reactive UI framework for JavaScript. Bear with me, please... :-) I 'invented' the concept for this back in 2011, and it was used (as a proprietary lib) in various startups. Even though many similar open source libs have been released since, and boy have I tried a lot of them, none have been able to capture the elegance and DX of what we had back then. I might be biased though. :-) So I started creating a cleaned-up, modern, TypeScript, open source implementation for the concept about five years ago. After many iterations, working on the project on and off, I'm finally happy…

    Hi Hacker News! My name is Sagar, I’m working on a startup called Speakeasy - we’re making all APIs self-service. The platform is currently in beta, but we’re independently launching this tool which you can use to generate language-idiomatic, statically-typed TS SDKs from any public OpenAPI schemas. We hope to continue iterating on this to give devs a way to easily generate high fidelity client SDKs for all the major languages. Inspiration for this product is from past experiences struggling with OpenAPI. I was originally optimistic about using the OpenAPI tools to build out our offering,…

    Hey HN! After years of wrestling with Lodash's quirks and bundle size issues, I decided to build something better. SuperUtilsPlus is my attempt at creating the utility library I wish existed. What makes it different? TypeScript-first approach: Unlike Lodash's retrofitted types, I built this from the ground up with TypeScript. The type inference actually works the way you'd expect it to. Sensible defaults: Some of Lodash's decisions always bugged me. Like isObject([]) returning true - arrays aren't objects in my mental model. Or isNumber(NaN) being true when NaN literally stands for "Not a…

    We've been building data pipelines that scrape websites and extract structured data for a while now. If you've done this, you know the drill: you write CSS selectors, the site changes its layout, everything breaks at 2am, and you spend your morning rewriting parsers. LLMs seemed like the obvious fix — just throw the HTML at GPT and ask for JSON. Except in practice, it's more painful than that: - Raw HTML is full of nav bars, footers, and tracking junk that eats your token budget. A typical product page is 80% noise. - LLMs return malformed JSON more often than you'd expect, especially with…

    Hi HN! I'd love to seek your insights on a fullstack web framework that employs a different approach: no build. It's not a new concept. The folks as Preact mentioned it: https://preactjs.com/guide/v10/no-build-workflows/ However, in the Web Framework market, I've yet to find many that support both "no build" and "SSR". There's always some sorts of "client mount" and "server mount" and either has (or both have) to go through a build (bundling) process. With the build process, there comes additional maintenance efforts and cognitive load. I've enjoyed wrestling…

    Existing OSS C++ projects like ClickHouse and DuckDB support reading from Iceberg tables. Writing requires Spark, PyIceberg, or managed services. In this PR https://github.com/timeplus-io/proton/pull/928, we are open-sourcing a C++ implementation of Iceberg integration. It's an MVP, focusing on REST catalog and S3 read/write(S3 table support coming soon). You can use Timeplus to continuously read data from MSK and stream writes to S3 in the Iceberg format. No JVM. No Python. Just a low-overhead, high-throughput C++ engine. Docker/K8s are optional. Demo…

    About a year ago, I stumbled upon a new Nodejs language called "Imba", I found this language to be interesting and it seemed like it had a lot of potential. Doing a bit of digging, I realized no one had created a framework for it, so what did a normal dev do? Well, a normal dev went ahead and created another Nodejs Framework, only this time it was meant for Imba. So what did I create? I created a batteries included Framework heavily inspired by Laravel but it runs on Nodejs, and uses Imba as the default language, but you can actually use TypeScript or JavaScript. In fact, when creating a new…
