24 alternatives to Newzly-phantom – Asynchronous type-safe Scala DSL for Cassandra
At newzly we use Cassandra for a variety of services. We loved Foursquare Rogue for MongoDB and we created a similar tool for Cassandra. Phantom is still in its early stages, but we look forward to your feedback and contributions!
Phantom is a Scala domain-specific language for building type-safe, asynchronous queries against Cassandra databases. Designed for developers using Cassandra in production environments, it provides schema validation… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Newzly-phantom – Asynchronous type-safe Scala DSL for Cassandra launched in 2014; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

Anytype is built on the open-source AnySync protocol: a local-first protocol based on CRDTs. Users of Anytype can create spaces - graph-based databases with modular UI. Each space has unique access rights. Today, Anytype's beta is in single-player mode. Multiplayer mode, which will support local-first collaboration between multiple users, will be launched in the first half of 2024. Anytype fulfils the seven ideals of local first software from here - https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first/ , our team felt these things are important to all of us: • No spinners: your work…

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…

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…

I've been working on Shelgon, a framework that lets you build your own custom REPL shells and interactive CLI applications in Rust. You can use Shelgon to: - Create a custom shell with only a few lines of code - Build interactive debugging tools with persistent state between commands - Develop domain-specific language interpreters with shell-like interfaces - Add REPL capabilities to existing applications Getting started is straightforward - implement a single trait that handles your command execution logic, and Shelgon takes care of the terminal UI, input handling, and async runtime…

Hi HN, I'm Dean, the non-technical co-founder of SchemafreeSQL. We released our beta version about a year ago. You can see the HN Post here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30291592 Today I am pleased to announce our initial release of our hosted SFSQL offering. A major concern from the HN Beta feedback we received was our longevity. Being a hosted database solution I can see why. We took that to heart and re-engineered our offering. We de-risked it by minimizing the amount of infrastructure under our management, fly.io manages customer's dedicated SFSQL endpoints,…

Hi HN — we've built a testing framework for Supabase that spins up fast, isolated Postgres databases for each test case. It’s designed to make RLS policies easy to validate with real database state, without global test fixtures or mock auth. Features: - Instant isolated Postgres DBs per test - Automatic rollback after each test - RLS-native testing with `.setContext()` for auth simulation - Flexible seeding (SQL, CSV, JSON, JS) - Works with Jest, Mocha, and any async test runner - CI-friendly (runs cleanly in GitHub Actions) We also published example projects and a free set of tutorials:…

Hey everyone, we built Metatype [0] as a different way to build APIs and backends based on 3 parts: 1. a Python package to build virtual graphs connecting all components of your stack (think databases, third-parties, and existing systems) 2. an HTTP/GraphQL query engine built in Rust/Deno that authorizes and optimizes queries over the graphs 3. a CLI to provide a nice developer experience and fast feedback cycle We developed this platform to tackle some of the challenges we often saw in tech teams we worked with: - most developers (especially backend) still spend too much time on…

Hi everyone. Over the past year, I've built a MySQL Proxy that supports Online DDL. I'm not sure if there are other proxies out there with this feature, but I found it fascinating and thought it was worth sharing. Of course, this proxy also supports many other features, such as Read Write Split, Read After Write Consistency, Load Balancing, and Transparent Failover. I didn't build this database from the bottom up; instead, I forked Vitess and put a lot of effort into overhauling its architecture and SQL Engine Layer. Moving forward, I hope to introduce more developer-friendly features into…

This C library is part of a main project aimed at providing a reactive key-value (KV) database. The data is typed (numbers, strings, dates, or booleans) and can include formulas with references to other entries. Clients connected to this database receive a real-time data stream with updates to the subscribed keys, allowing them to react to changes and their dependencies. Essentially, it’s like building a distributed Excel, where data and formulas dynamically update across the system. I couldn’t find any libraries that offered the full set of features I needed for evaluating expressions, so I…
