Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Headless BI: Metric Standardization in Action
GoodData Foreign Data Wrapper is a PostgreSQL foreign data wrapper extension. It is built on top of multicore, and it makes GoodData.CN’s metrics, calculations, and data available in PostgreSQL as tables.

Launch HN: Hydra (YC W22) – Query Any Database via Postgres
This is really nice! Congrats!
I once started building as a side project something similar but focused on querying cloud resources (like S3 buckets, ec2s, etc... discovering the biggest file from a bucket was trivial with this). I abandoned the project but someone else built a startup on the same concept - even the name was the same: cloudquery.
I built it using the multicorn [1] postgres extension and it is deligthful of how easy it to get something simple running.

Supabase Wrappers: A Framework for Building Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers
> speaks a particular API over the network
it's a interesting idea, and one of the things that we were toying with in our pg_net extension (https://github.com/supabase/pg_net). This is a "generic" async network extension, so you can fetch/put/post. It works well for APIs.
I think the generic approach works for some things where the data is less "fixed" - for example, an OpenAI API endpoint.
But for "fixed" data (data warehouses), the wrapper usually needs some custom work for security, protocols, and "push down". I'll be interested to get HN's take on this - they might have some suggestions for us for this framework

Great observation!
> I’ve learned a ton just from cruising around supabase GitHub.
Glad to hear it!
> Can you say which of these new components will be open sourced?
All of these components are open source and licensed under Apache License v2.0.
> There are some other features (e.g. function hooks) that are also closed-source at the moment.
I actually worked on the initial implementation of function hooks. We've actually already open sourced both the client (see: https://github.com/supabase/supabase/tree/88bcef911669595428...) and the pg_net extension it requires (see: https://github.com/supabase/pg_net).
> Is Supabase heading for an “open core” model?
I don't think so. We want to continue to open source our projects under either MIT (client libs) and Apache License v2.0 (server libs).

Supabase Edge Functions
> The dream would be to have a great DX experience around using insert/update triggers to call Supabase functions to run background tasks
We have something for this: Function Hooks (soon to be renamed "Async Triggers")[0]. They are still in alpha, but the extension [1] is getting close. It was important to build something which works with PG background workers so that it's non-blocking. We'll make quick progress on this now that we've released Edge Functions.
