Hey HN! Lev and Justin here, authors of PgDog (https://pgdog.dev/), a connection pooler, load balancer and database sharder for PostgreSQL. If you build apps with a lot of traffic, you know the first thing to break is the database. We are solving this with a network proxy that works without requiring application code changes or database migrations. Our post from last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44099187 The most important update: we are in production. Sharding is used a lot, with direct-to-shard queries (one shard per query) working pretty much…

Hey HN! Lev here, author of PgDog (https://github.com/pgdogdev/pgdog). I’m scaling our favorite database, PostgreSQL. PgDog is a new open source proxy, written in Rust, with first-class support for sharding — without changes to your app or needing database extensions.

Hey HN, Postgres Pro is an open source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built to support every stage of the development process. It does a lot more than help generate and run SQL—it helps you make sure your application and database actually run well. Features: - Industrial-strength tuning algorithms similar to those in MS SQL Server - “What if?” tool to evaluate LLM-generated index suggestions - Works with Cursor, etc., to make changes in ORM code - Ensures safe SQL execution with restricted mode - Includes health checks to stay ahead of production problems
