MyDuck Server – Supercharge MySQL and Postgres Analytics with DuckDB
Hello HN! We're excited to announce MyDuck Server, an open-source project that seamlessly integrates the analytical power of DuckDB with your existing MySQL & Postgres databases. *Backstory* Currently, there are no fully satisfactory open-source OLAP solutions for MySQL & Postgres. In the MySQL ecosystem, HeatWave offers close integration, but it's a proprietary, commercial product from Oracle. The Postgres community has seen promising DuckDB-based extensions emerge, including the official pg_duckdb. However, extensions can introduce isolation concerns in mission-critical environments.…
MyDuck Server – Supercharge MySQL and Postgres Analytics with DuckDB launched on November 28, 2024 with 32 votes, #609 of 4,990 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
MyDuck Server is an open-source tool that connects DuckDB's analytical capabilities to existing MySQL and Postgres databases, enabling OLAP workloads without proprietary solutions or complex data pipelines. It runs as a separate server rather than a database extension, addressing isolation concerns in mission-critical environments. The project targets organizations seeking to perform advanced analytics on relational databases without costly commercial tools or elaborate data replication infrastructure.

- MAMotherDuck – a serverless data analytics platform powered by DuckDB2023 · ▲17
Hi folks.. Co-founder and Head of Produck at MotherDuck. We're building a new type of analytics data platform based on an exciting open source project DuckDB! We just launched today, so please head over to our website and request an invite[0]! When we first started MotherDuck a little over a year ago, we realized that the modern data platforms like BigQuery and Snowflake are of exceptional quality. They're also very mature, packing diverse set of features across a variety of use cases. So it doesn't seem like a good idea to go and compete with them... But then we found DuckDB. DuckDB changes…
- DADriftDB – an open source WebSocket backend for real-time apps2023 · driftdb.com · ▲367
Hey HN! I’ve written a bunch of WebSocket servers over the years to do simple things like state synchronization, WebRTC signaling, and notifying a client when a backend job was run. I realized that if I had a simple way to create a private, temporary, mini-redis that the client could talk to directly, it would save a lot of time. So we created DriftDB. In addition to the open source server that you can run yourself, we also provide https://jamsocket.live where you can use an instance we host on Cloudflare’s edge (~13ms round trip latency from my home in NY). You may have seen my…

Outerbase Studio – Open-Source Database GUI2024 · github.com · ▲356We just launched Outerbase Studio, the open-source version of our core database offering. It works in your browser or as a desktop app and supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. What it does: • Connects to MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite databases. • Spin up local databases directly through the UI, even if you don’t have one running. • Manage and query your data in a lightweight, intuitive interface. • Completely open source. Why we built it: We wanted to share the core Outerbase experience with the developer community as a free, open-source tool. It’s simple, fast, and removes the barriers…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

Lovable▲1,477Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
