Why not compete a bit with Supabase its all opensource outside the OAuth integration I'm sure you can code it fast. I love the workflow of coding frontend and just changing the database as I am thinking of what data model i need and then https://docs.postgrest.org/en/v12/ automatically changes the API. (One could also say firebase competition but I highly prefer the postgres oriented supabase strategy)
nothing that you can't do in AWS but generally Render tries to do things in less clicks and have less advanced clicks for you to accidentally press. Thats pretty much it nothing fancy.
Tried to type in something as simple as "funny videos" but got zero relevant funny cats or dogs. I wonder if they need an initiative to build content pipelines to bring move r some video.
The price comparison doesn't make sense if they used to have a multi cloud system and now its just AWS. Makes me fear this is just content paid by AWS. Actually getting multi cloud to work is a huge achievment and I would be super interested to hear of another tech standard that would make that easier.
Proposed solution: A set of neutral validators that define standard Interfaces and then test any cloud wanting to get listed for compatibility and minimum included performance (also egress).
If all this data is open we should get competition back and fix cloud.
Disclaimer: I am working on suh a system, enterprise love the idea it does well at hackathons but not production ready on the validation standard yet. Would be happy to get critical HN feedback.
pglogical can live inside postgres, looks like pg_flo is an external service not an extension.
Maybe a benefit actually. Do you think we could use pg_flo with Postgres as a service instances like Azure postgres, Supabase, Neon etc? Like you just read the WAL without needing to install an extension that is not approved by the vendor.
Yeah, absolutely! There are other benefits of being an extension, and yes you can use pg_flo with any PostgreSQL database or service since it uses logical replication to listen on changes and CTIDs for bulk copies.
Cool, Hope it can give an alterantive to Debezium. I never liked Debezium how it first must copy the whole CDC state to kafka. And you must set the kafka retnetion time to infinity, which many kafka as a service systems don't allow anyway.
I recently set up a Debezium / Kafka Connect cluster and didn’t need to do either of these things. I have some topics with 7 day retention, and some with 0 second retention. No full scan at all, not necessary for my use case.
