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.

We’ve built SQLRooms, an open-source framework for creating single-node data analytics apps powered by DuckDB. It lets you build fully client-side, data-centric apps using React and DuckDB running in the browser (via WebAssembly) or in Electron. No server or backend is required — apps can work offline, preserve data privacy, and run queries on large datasets with sub-second performance. Features: - Query large datasets in browser with DuckDB (WASM) - Modular design for building composable data UIs (query editors, dashboards, notebooks, etc.) - Data privacy-preserving AI assistant that can…

I'm building a privacy focused analytics tool, using WebAssembly and DuckDB. You can upload your files (CSV, JSON and Parquet), and interact with them as where they a SQL Server. Your data never leaves your computer, however I do track page views and visitors using Plausible. The next steps are to add forecasting and segmentation, as well as some data visualisation capabilities. I would love to hear your opinion. All code for the repo is available here: https://github.com/dilovancelik/client_side_analytics

Duck (https://duck-lang.dev) is a statically typed, compiled programming language that combines the best of Rust, TypeScript and Go, aiming to provide an alternative for full-stack-development while being as familiar as possible Improvements over Rust: - garbage collection simplifies developing network applications - no lifetimes - built-in concurrency runtime and apis for web development Improvements over bun/node/typescript: - massive performance gains due to Go's support for parallel execution and native code generation - easier deployment since Duck compiles to a…

Over the last 12 months, in parallel to using Google BigQuery, I have built my own processing pipeline using SQLite and DuckDB. What amazes me is that it works surprisingly well and costs much less than using BigQuery. Roughly speaking, here's what I do: A SQLite database receives IoT sensor data via a very simple PHP function. I currently use the FlightPHP framework for this. The data is written to a table within the SQLite database (WAL mode activated) and states are updated by the machines using triggers. Example of a trigger CREATE TRIGGER message_added AFTER INSERT ON messages BEGIN…

Show HN: SerenDB – Neon PostgreSQL fork optimized for AI agent workloads We forked Neon to make database operations faster and safer for AI agents. The goal is to enable instant experimentation with production data and catch prompt injection attacks before they hit your DB. The open-source repo is at https://github.com/serenorg/serendb The coolest current features are: 1. Time-travel queries: Query your database as it existed at any timestamp. SELECT * FROM orders AS OF TIMESTAMP '2024-01-15 14:30:00'. Essential for debugging agent decisions and auditing what data an…
