Hi HN, we're excited to share our open source tool with the community! We previously posted here with the tagline “real-time events for Postgres” [0]. But after feedback from early users and the community, we’ve shifted our focus to working on tooling for manual database changes. We've consistently heard teams describe challenges with the way manual data updates are handled. Seemingly every engineer we spoke with had examples of errant queries that ended up causing significant harm in production environments (data loss/service interruptions). We’ve seen a few different approaches to how…

Hello HN, I am Sai Srirampur, one of the Co-founders of PeerDB. (https://github.com/PeerDB-io/peerdb). We spent the past 7 months building a solid experience to replicate data from Postgres to data warehouses. Now we're expanding to queues. PeerDB Streams provides a simple and native way to replicate changes as they happen in Postgres to Queues (Kafka, Redpanda, Google PubSub, etc). We use Postgres logical decoding to enable Change Data Capture (CDC). Blog post here: https://blog.peerdb.io/peerdb-streams-simple-native-postgres.... 10-min quickstart here:…

Hey HN, I’m an engineer at Supabase [0] and one of the creators of this demo. My team and I have been working hard to bring developers the next version of Supabase Realtime. The current version of Realtime [1] is a Change Data Capture (CDC) server for a PostgreSQL database that broadcasts changes via WebSockets to authorized subscribers. It’s written in Elixir/Phoenix. The server utilizes PostgreSQL’s logical replication functionality, which writes database changes to Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) segment files, and a replication slot, responsible for managing and retaining WAL files.…

My name is Weston Goodwin. I created a tool called SQL Simulator which allows you to do Dry Runs with your SQL Scripts. The reason I created the tool was because I wanted to verify that my SQL scripts did what I thought they would do without executing them against the database. It is similar in concept to Redgate SQL Clone or Windocs. If you are not familiar with these tools they make clones of your database. The key difference with SQL Simulator is, it only makes a clone of the database objects affected by your sql script, not the entire database. Nor does it copy the entire table (if your…

Hey HN, Every team I've been on has cobbled together some sort of combination of GitHub branch protections and custom scripts to make sure that PRs conform to organization policies and best practices. Things like: - When {X} file is changed, require review from team {Y} - When a new db migration is added, ensure that a special set of tests pass - Require multiple approvals when the PR is very large - Add a special label to PRs that include breaking changes - Allow emergencies / hotfixes to break glass and bypass all of the above Most teams tend to start out with a little script running…

I've been working on a little project recently to solve a problem that I've encountered at every job I've ever had, and I'm eager for some feedback. Having super granular roles & permissions in PostgreSQL is desirable, but quite difficult to maintain (particularly at smaller companies without dedicated security/devops/DBA/whatever who make it their business to maintain it). I've thought for a while that having a declarative way to manage them would be really useful and allow more teams to actually make use of sophisticated security features that PostgreSQL offers in their…
