We’ve open-sourced @xata.io/importer our core code which parses CSV files - if you're interested in building on top of our importer, we invite you to contribute.

At Xata, we’re relying on the Postgres logical replication events quite a bit. Having a reliable stream with everything that has changed in the database is really useful in a number of cases, including data syncing to Elasticsearch, web-hooks, attachments clean-up, and more. One of the configuration parameters for logical replication is the so called “replica identity”:

Xata.io is the ultimate solution for Jamstack Developers looking to quickly set up their database schema and streamline their development workflow 🥇✨

In this article, we are going to use Xata as a serverless database, think of Xata as a platform where we can create and access the database inside our application through API endpoints.

One of the key benefits of the JAMstack for frontend developers is the ability to focus on building user interfaces without the need for server-side rendering or complex backend logic. This allows for a more agile and efficient development process, as well as the ability to leverage a wide range of third-party APIs and services to build dynamic and engaging user experiences. They can use their favorite UI frameworks (Like React, Vue, Svelte). If there is a need for a custom backend API (other than a headless CMS), there are plenty of tools which makes this relatively simple like for example Heroku, Firebase, Xata, restdb.io and codehooks.io 😄

Not too long ago, Xata (spreadsheet-like database) reached out to me and got me the freedom to touch code from time to time, but mainly focus on product design and I was thrilled, it was my dream job and I could proudly put designer on my job title for the first time without feeling that I’m not good enough and I better do JavaScript, or Storybook, or estimations. I was working on developer tool, with developers, but doing designs and research!

Xata.io is a serverless database for Jamstack apps that combines the power of a traditional database, making it easier to manage, consume, and store data. Step 1: Go to https://xata.io/ and click start building for free you will; have the option to signup with Google, Github, or your Email. Step 2: From the dashboard, click start from scratch

For this application to manage the database of your application, you need to create an account with Xata by clicking here. It is completely free to create an account and should take about a minute.

In this article, we will learn how to use Xata, a serverless, branch-able, scalable, consistent, highly available, searchable database to build a resume builder’s backend, and Cloudinary, a cloud-based asset management service, to manage all assets. At the same time, Next.js will be used to handle the front-end development.

My friend & avid retro gamer Sara Vieira had compiled a great collection of retro games data for her awesome site letsplayretro.games, a Next app which already had a ton of great features. But one feature Sara still wished for was full-text search over not just games' names, but all their metadata, with the ability to prioritize (aka "boost") the highest-rated games in the search results.
