Stargate – An open source API framework for data

In plain words

Stargate is an open source API framework designed to simplify data access. It enables developers to build and deploy APIs for databases without extensive custom code. The framework abstracts database complexity, allowing teams to focus on application logic rather than infrastructure details. It supports multiple data models and provides flexible query capabilities, making it suitable for developers working with various database systems.

From the sources

We’re excited to release the first preview of Stargate, an open source API framework for data. This project came about because we got tired of using different databases and different APIs depending on the work that we were trying to get done. With “read the manual” fatigue and lengthy selection processes wearing on us every time we created a new project, we thought - why not create a framework tha

  Superglue – open source API connector that writes its own code2025 · github.com · ▲198

  Hi HN, we’re Stefan and Adina, and we’re building superglue (https://superglue.cloud). superglue allows you to connect to any API/data source and get the data you want in the format you need. It’s an open-source proxy server which sits between you and your target APIs. Thus, you can easily deploy it into your own infra. If you’re spending a lot of time writing code connecting to weird APIs, fumbling with custom fields in foreign language ERPs, mapping JSONs, extracting data from compressed CSVs sitting on FTP servers, and making sure your integrations don’t break when…

  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…

  Linux sysadmin course, eight years on▲780

  Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job. After surviving the Big C, and getting made redundant I thought I might improve and relaunch it commercially – but my doctors are a pessimistic bunch, so it looked like I didn’t have the time. Instead, I rejigged/relaunched it via a Reddit forum this February as free and open - and have now gathered a team of helpers to ensure that it keeps going each month even after I can’t…
