In plain words
SereneDB is an open-source database that combines full-text, vector, and hybrid search with fast SQL analytics in a single engine. It maintains PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch compatibility, allowing users to eliminate separate systems and ETL pipelines. The database handles large-scale data indexing efficiently and supports real-time search operations alongside columnar analytics, available under the Apache 2.0 license.

From the sources
SereneDB is the result of 12 years of development - an open-source database that does ultra-fast full-text and fast analytics in one engine. Postgres- and Elastic-compatible: keep your SQL, your drivers, and your Elastic clients; drop the second system and the ETL between them. In our public benchmark, it outperforms Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, and Postgres search extensions, and indexes 1B logs in under 8 minutes at ~10x less disk. Apache 2.0, methodology, and raw results are public.

HelixDB – Open-source vector-graph database for AI applications (Rust)2025 · github.com · ▲237Hey HN, we want to share HelixDB (https://github.com/HelixDB/helix-db/), a project a college friend and I are working on. It’s a new database that natively intertwines graph and vector types, without sacrificing performance. It’s written in Rust and our initial focus is on supporting RAG. Here’s a video runthrough: https://screen.studio/share/szgQu3yq. Why a hybrid? Vector databases are useful for similarity queries, while graph databases are useful for relationship queries. Each stores data in a way that’s best for its main type of query (e.g.…
- OAOtterTune – Automated Database Tuning Service for RDS MySQL/Postgres2021 · ▲164
Yo. OtterTune is a database optimization service. It uses machine learning to automatically tune your MySQL and Postgres configuration (i.e., RDS parameter groups) to improve performance and reduce costs. It does this by only looking at your database's runtime metrics (e.g., INNODB_METRICS, pg_stat_database, CloudWatch). We don't need to examine sensitive queries or user tables. We spun this project out of my research group at Carnegie Mellon University in 2020. This week we've announced that OtterTune is now available to the public. We are offering everyone a starter account to try it out…
Hydra 1.0 – open-source column-oriented Postgres2023 · hydra-so.notion.site · ▲269hi hn, hydra ceo here hydra is an open source, column-oriented postgres. you can set up remarkably fast aggregates on your project in minutes to query billions of rows instantly. postgres is great, but aggregates can take minutes to hours to return results on large data sets. long-running analytical queries hog database resources and degrade performance. use hydra to run much faster analytics on postgres without making code changes. data is automatically loaded into columnar format and compressed. connect to hydra with your preferred postgres client (psql, dbeaver, etc). following 4 months…

Talanoa▲339Hi 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…
