We are building Tonic Ephemeral - a purpose built test database that is easy and fast to spin up (or down) based on your dev and test requirements. As engineers who worked on data at Palantir and Tableau, we've seen developers struggle to get isolated test databases when needed. We faced the same problem while we were building our core product at Tonic. Based on this, we decided to build something for ourselves and then realized some of our customers loved it too. Today, we are sharing Tonic Ephemeral with the world. Briefly, Tonic Ephemeral manages test data infrastructure. In my…

Hi HN! We’re Adrien and Kanav. We met at our previous job, where we spent about a third of our lives combating a constant firehose of bugs. In the hope of reducing this pain for others in the future, we’re working on automating debugging. We’re currently working on a platform that ingests logs and then automatically reproduces, root causes and ultimately fixes production bugs as they happen. You can see some of our work on this here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39528087 As we were building the root-cause phase of our automated debugger, we realized that we developed…

Hey HN! We're excited to announce the launch of Tonic Textual, the secure data lakehouse for LLMs. Simply stated, Tonic Textual allows you to build generative AI systems on your own unstructured data without having to spend time extracting and standardizing your data. In minutes you can build automated, scalable unstructured data pipelines that extract, centralize, standardize, and enrich data from your documents into an AI-optimized format ready for embedding, fine-tuning, and ingesting into a vector database. While in-flight, we also scan for sensitive information and protect it via…

Hey HN! We’ve built Pretzel, an open-source data exploration and visualization tool that runs fully in the browser and can handle large files (200 MB CSV on my 8gb MacBook air is snappy). It’s also reactive - so if, for example, you change a filter, all the data transform blocks after it re-evaluate automatically. You can try it here: https://pretzelai.github.io/ (static hosted webpage) or see a demo video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73wNEun_L7w You can play with the demo CSV that’s pre-loaded (GitHub data of text-editor adjacent projects) or upload…
