24 alternatives to PostData – The No-Fuss Way to Store and Visualize Your IoT Data

Hey everyone, I'm excited to announce the launch of PostData, a new service that simplifies IoT data storage and visualization. As developers, we know how frustrating it can be to set up complicated services like AWS just to store and view our data. That's why we created PostData – to offer a straightforward solution that gets the job done without all the hassle. With PostData, you can easily ingest, store, and visualize your IoT data in just a few clicks. We offer a forever-free plan that allows you to create new public devices with up to 20 metrics and a limit of 1000 messages per device.…

    We started CallFS after yet another late-night “why did the uploads vanish?” incident. Our small team had stitched together rsync, a fragile NFS mount, and an S3 bucket—none of it observable, all of it waiting to bite us. So we wrote a single-process file service in Go that: • Speaks the S3 API (so existing tooling works). • Stores hot data on local disks for speed; cold data can sit in any S3-compatible bucket. • Exposes Prometheus metrics and JSON logs by default, because “what happened?” shouldn’t be guesswork. • Ships as a ~25 MB static binary—no external deps, MIT license. Today it’s…

    we've been working on a KV store for the past year or so which is 2-6x faster than Redis (benchmark link below) yet disk persisted! so you get the speed of in-memory KV stores but with disk persistence. To achieve this we've created our custom filesystem that is optimized for our special usecase and we're doing smart batching for writes and predictive fetching for reads. In addition to basic operations, it also provides atomic inc/dec, atomic json patch, range scans and a unique key monitoring mechanism (pub-sub) over WebSockets which essentially allows you to receive notification on…

    I'm excited to share Hashmap.me, a small tool I've built to simplify data storage and retrieval. It's a straightforward service that allows developers to store data records via HTTP requests and retrieve them easily, all without the hassle of setting up and managing a database. Initially I built this because I was tired of creating a database to prototype my own projects, I just wanted to persist my in memory cache between restarts early on. Each hashmap you create corresponds to its own collection in MongoDB. Perfect for small projects, quick prototypes, or learning purposes. I'd love to…

    Hi! Xata was on HackerNews once before (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28590816) a bit over a year ago, when we were at the beginning of our development. We've promised we're going to do a Show HN page when we come out of Private Beta, and this just happened today. Xata is a product in the serverless database space. We know that the space is fairly crowded now, with lots of great companies started recently. We're happy to see a fresh wave of database products, that are focused more on the developer experience, rather than a race to the bottom on performance and cost. We…
