Latitude.sh Databases – Simple PostgreSQL DBaaS on Bare Metal
Hi HN, Gabriel here, one of the developers at Latitude.sh (we're a bare metal cloud provider). Over the past year or so, I've been the primary developer building Latitude.sh Databases – our take on a managed PostgreSQL service. The core idea was to offer a straightforward and competitively priced option for developers who need reliable PostgreSQL without overly complex configurations, leveraging the performance benefits of running directly on bare metal. It runs on our global bare metal infrastructure. Key features we've implemented include: * Built-in monitoring & connection pooling * IP…
In plain words
Latitude.sh Databases is a managed PostgreSQL service running on bare metal infrastructure globally. It provides developers with straightforward database hosting featuring built-in monitoring, connection pooling, IP whitelisting, and automated backups to personal S3 buckets for cost control. The service includes optional Supabase dashboard integration and prioritizes reliable performance without complex configurations, targeting developers seeking competitively priced managed PostgreSQL solutions.

Hi HN, Gabriel here, one of the developers at Latitude.sh (we're a bare metal cloud provider). Over the past year or so, I've been the primary developer building Latitude.sh Databases – our take on a managed PostgreSQL service. The core idea was to offer a straightforward and competitively priced option for developers who need reliable PostgreSQL without overly complex configurations, leveraging the performance benefits of running directly on bare metal. It runs on our global bare metal infrastructure. Key features we've implemented include: * Built-in monitoring & connection pooling * IP Address Whitelisting (Trusted Sources) * Automated backups configured directly to your own S3 bucket (giving you control over storage and potentially costs) * An optional integration with Supabase, allowing you to use parts of their dashboard for enhanced usability with your database. Under the hood, it's built on Kubernetes running on our bare metal servers, using the CloudNativePG operator to manage the PostgreSQL instances. We've found this operator approach works well for handling stateful database workloads in K8s, challenging the old notion that databases don't belong there. The service stemmed from internal needs and early interest gathered from a waitlist (~300 signups). It's currently live and available for use. We're launching it here on HN because we'd genuinely appreciate your feedback on: * The overall developer experience and UI simplicity. * The current feature set (especially the S3 backup and Supabase integration). * Performance perceptions (given the bare metal base). * Our pricing model's competitiveness and clarity. * Any technical aspects of the implementation (running PG on K8s/bare metal). Happy to answer any questions you have! You can check out the product page here: https://www.latitude.sh/databases Thanks for looking!

Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
