    Pylar▲502

    Hey HN! We're Hoshang & Vishal, the team behind Pylar - a governed access layer between databases and LLMs. We previously led data and AI and we kept seeing the same problem across teams using LLMs internally: agents are great with unstructured data, but the moment you want them touching your actual systems of record — Snowflake, Postgres, CRMs, product DBs — everything becomes fragile, risky, or outright unsafe. Two issues show up every single time: 1. Agents over-querying They don’t understand cost. They’ll happily generate queries that blow up your warehouse bill. 2. Accidental data…

    I built a SQLite VFS in Rust that serves cold queries directly from S3 with sub-second performance, and often much faster. It’s called turbolite. It is experimental, buggy, and may corrupt data. I would not trust it with anything important yet. I wanted to explore whether object storage has gotten fast enough to support embedded databases over cloud storage. Filesystems reward tiny random reads and in-place mutation. S3 rewards fewer requests, bigger transfers, immutable objects, and aggressively parallel operations where bandwidth is often the real constraint. This was explicitly inspired…

    I got tired of the overhead required to run even a simple data analysis - cloud setup, ETL pipelines, orchestration, cost monitoring - so I built a fully local data-stack/IDE where I can write SQL/Py, run it, see results, and iterate quickly and interactively. You get data lake like catalog, zero-ETL, lineage, versioning, and analytics running entirely on your machine. You can import from a database, webpage, CSV, etc. and query in natural language or do your own work in SQL/Pyspark. Connect to local models like Gemma or cloud LLMs like Claude for querying and analysis. You…

    Recently I open-sourced SQLFrame, a DataFrame library that implements the PySpark DataFrame API but removes Spark as a dependency. It does this by generating the corresponding SQL for the DataFrame operations using SQLGlot. Since the output is SQL this also means that the PySpark DataFrame API can now be used directly against other databases without the Spark middleman. I built this because of two common problems I have faced in my career: 1. I prefer to write complex pipelines in PySpark but they can be hard to read for SQL-proficient co-workers. Therefore I find myself in a tradeoff…

    Hello Everyone! We built SQLFlow as a lightweight stream processing engine. We leverage DuckDB as the stream processing engine, which gives SQLFlow the ability to process 10's of thousands of messages a second using ~250MiB of memory! DuckDB also supports a rich ecosystem of sinks and connectors! https://sql-flow.com/docs/category/tutorials/ https://github.com/turbolytics/sql-flow We were tired of running JVM's for simple stream processing, and also of bespoke one off stream processors I would love your feedback, criticisms and/or…

    We're thrilled to unveil EloqKV, a lightning-fast distributed key-value store with a Redis-compatible API. Built on a new database architecture called the Data Substrate, EloqKV brings significant innovations to database design. Here’s the unique features that makes it stand out: - Flexible Deployment: Run it as a single-node in-memory KV cache, a larger-than-memory database or scale to a highly available, distributed transactional database with ease. - High Performance: Achieves performance levels comparable to top in-memory databases like Redis and DragonflyDB, while significantly…
