OtterTune – Automated Database Tuning Service for RDS MySQL/Postgres▲164
Yo. OtterTune is a database optimization service. It uses machine learning to automatically tune your MySQL and Postgres configuration (i.e., RDS parameter groups) to improve performance and reduce costs. It does this by only looking at your database's runtime metrics (e.g., INNODB_METRICS, pg_stat_database, CloudWatch). We don't need to examine sensitive queries or user tables. We spun this project out of my research group at Carnegie Mellon University in 2020. This week we've announced that OtterTune is now available to the public. We are offering everyone a starter account to try it out…

Pgstream – CDC tool for PostgreSQL with DDL support▲8
Hi HN, pgstream is an open source CLI tool and Go library for Postgres logical replication events. We have some bigger plans with it, but as of now its main "differentiator" is that it includes not only data changes but also DDL changes in the same ordered and consistent stream. We have developed this because in the Xata platform we handle automatic replication from Postgres to Elasticsearch/OpenSearch. Initially schema changes were problematic because they required us intercepting them at the API layer and then apply them to the search engine. But if the replication is slightly delayed…

Pgrust, Postgres in Rust (passing 100% of Postgres regression tests)▲6
pgrust is a PostgreSQL rewrite in Rust I've been working on with my friend Jason. It now passes 100% of PostgreSQL's regression tests and we were even able to boot pgrust off an existing PostgreSQL 18.3 data directory. You can hack on its code or try it out quickly with the WASM build on pgrust.com. It's not production ready yet. I haven't focused on performance optimized yet and it's not compatible with existing PostgreSQL extensions. I want to improve upon Postgres in many ways in the future. I wrote about some here [0], and Jason and I saw a great talk in person at PGConf.dev a month ago…
