Products that do what OxideDB – Teach PostgreSQL Database How to Speak MongoDB Wire Protocol does
Hey everyone! I have created a product that relies on MongoDB for a document store but doesn't really need any of the distributed features to really justify having a hosted MongoDB or DocumentDB instance. Now that we're trying to turn this into a product, we're seeing that some companies have a little bit of resistance around managing yet another database. Most of our clients already have and manage PostgreSQL in one form or another. I knew that PostgreSQL already offered first class JSON support, but I didn't want to rewrite the application data layer from scratch if I could avoid it.…

Hey! I'm Andrei. I got frustrated by how people tend to build overcomplicated backend systems, being "motivated" by big tech case studies and popular books. So, I started exploring lean architecture, and building my digital garden of ideas, approaches and data that align with this direction. Here I want to present one of the tools – Sizing tool for PostgreSQL. I've benchmarked PostgreSQL on different EC2 instances and disks, with different initial data sets to see performance that these instances can give you. And I've built a tool to visualize this data, which I welcome you to explore. So,…

I wanted to brush up my SQL skills and was looking for an online course that included a live DB. Most PostgreSQL courses require you to create an account or pay. This is probably because they have to bear the costs of running a full server-side database. So I created learnpg.xyz, a collection of PostgreSQL SQL exercises that run client side. Sharing here because it might be of use to people!

Preface: we love Hacker News. It's been one of the constant good things in all of our lives, and is by far our favorite place to talk with people about what we're doing. I figured it was worth doing a special post for something we've been cooking up, rather than just linking to what everyone else gets. So here it is. We just turned on a product we're calling "Elastic Deployments". These are MongoDB clusters that scale vertically with no intervention. As a database grows, it has access to more RAM, IOPs and CPU. More here:…

TLDR: Check out our documentation search here: https://xata.io/docs/overview Hello HN. I'm a designer over at Xata. We build a serverless database platform on top of Postgres and Elastic-like search that provides goodies like a native TypeScript client for type support in your IDE. Long story short, we're trying to bundle all the normal stuff you need out of a database along with branching, so you don't have to glue everything together. Today we added a new /ask/ endpoint to our search product that bundles in ChatGPT support into any stored data. Why would you…

INTRO: Hi HN community, it is been 2 years since I developed Apisentris (https://apisentris.com) that initially aimed to make my big brother easier to consuming data from his database (MySQL, back then). He is non programmer and wanted me to create some programming scripts to do his jobs. I found out "Database to API" libraries already out there but we have to do some programming works and server configuration to make them work. So that's the idea, what if there is a platform that would instantly generates API from database(s) without (reduce) all of scary configs stuff and backend…
