Pylon Sync, an agent-first full-stack realtime framework

In plain words

Pylon Sync is a full-stack, real-time framework designed to simplify the transition from hobby projects to production applications. It combines server-rendered React, TypeScript functions, real-time data synchronization, built-in authentication, and support for background and scheduled jobs in a single package. The framework uses SQLite by default with the option to switch to Postgres for production, and runs on a Rust server that executes TypeScript functions and React components using Bun. It targets developers who want production-grade capabilities without the complexity and cost of separate backend infrastructure.

From the sources

Pylon is a full-stack framework built for agents to ship high-performance and secure apps quickly. SQLite by default, Postgres when you need it.

Define data, policies, server functions, and live clients in TypeScript. Run it anywhere, or deploy it on Stack0 Cloud. You write one schema. The same server stores the data, checks permissions, pushes updates, runs your code, and renders the pages. You do not add a second service for any of it. Write each entity and field one time. Pylon makes the tables, runs the migrations, and writes the client types. Subscribe one time. After each write that affects the result, the server sends only the rows that changed. You do not poll or clear a cache. Every read and every write goes through the same rules. An operation with no rule is denied. Use email links, OAuth, OIDC, or API keys. Your…from pylonsync.com

In the maker’s words, at launch

I created Pylon to make it easier to move from hobby projects to full production apps. When I work on hobby projects, I usually use React or Next.js because they are quick to set up and easy to deploy on Vercel. For production apps, I separate the frontend and backend, then deploy the backend on AWS. But setting up a…

  Bi-directional sync between Postgres and SQLite2023 · powersync.com · ▲356

  Hi HN, Today we’re launching PowerSync, a Postgres<>SQLite bi-directional sync engine that enables an offline-first app architecture. It currently supports Flutter, React Native and web (JavaScript) using Wasm SQLite in the browser, with more client SDKs on the way. Conrad and I (Ralf) have been working on our sync engine since 2009, originally as part of a full-stack app platform. That version of the system is still used in production worldwide and we’ve learnt a lot from its use cases and scaling. About a year ago we started on spinning off PowerSync as a standalone product that is…

  DriftDB – 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:&#x2F;&#x2F;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…

  I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

  I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

  Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

  Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

  A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

  OpenSEO▲928

  Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
