Expose Go's database/sql stats as Prometheus metrics

In plain words

Expose Go's database/sql stats as Prometheus metrics is a development tool that extracts statistics from Go's built-in database/sql package and converts them into Prometheus metrics format. It enables developers to monitor database connection pool usage, open connections, and query performance in their Go applications. The tool integrates with Prometheus monitoring systems to provide visibility into database behavior and resource utilization.

  MetricFlow – open-source metric framework2022 · github.com · ▲98

  Hi HN community, I’m Nick, co-founder/CEO of Transform.co. I’m thrilled to share MetricFlow, an open-source metric creation framework: https://github.com/transform-data/metricflow MetricFlow strives to make what has historically been an extremely repetitive process, writing SQL queries on core normalized data models, much more DRY. MetricFlow consolidates the definitions for joins, aggregations, filters, etc., and programmatically generates SQL to construct data marts. You can think of it like LookML, but more powerful and ergonomic (and open source!). The project…

  Talanoa▲341

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Angeldust – a fast and efficient video game▲716

  After years of solo development I'm presenting: Angeldust, an omni-compatible action RPG and building game! Website: http://angeldu.st My single server hosts 250+K active players in one giant, dynamic fantasy world. Angeldust's game server is pervasively multithreaded, implementing John Carmack's dream of processing an immutable world state each tick. Both world handling and network traffic routing uses any number of threads. For networking, a typical game session only uses ~3Kbps of bandwidth, enabling decent play even over 2G/EDGE networks. The client is programmed in C++…
