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.

We built our customer data warehouse all on Postgres
There are multiple queries each separated by ; and on top of each query, there's a comment giving a name to the query (it's more like a header)
I think the only thing that would require specific support in postgres_lsp is using the :parameter_name syntax for prepared statements [1] (in vanilla Postgres would be something like $1 or $2, but in Cornucopia it is named to aid readability). But, if postgres_lsp is forgiging enough to not choke on that, then it seems completely fit for this use case.

Is ORM still an anti-pattern?
Some examples for anyone else reading:
https://github.com/kyleconroy/sqlc
https://github.com/cornucopia-rs/cornucopia
This is my preferred method of interacting with databases now.
Very flexible.

What ORM do you use?
I like Cornucopia. It’s a SQL-first approach, so I don’t have to worry about an ORM generating pathological queries. It’s also basically zero cost compared to directly using rust-postgres and supports both sync and async. I also like that my SQL queries end up separate from my Rust code, so it’s easy to update all the relevant queries when the schema changes.

What is the recommended way to implement session authorization?
Also, I moved away from SQLx due to slow compile times and now use https://github.com/cornucopia-rs/cornucopia

Oops, You Wrote a Database
While we're on the subject of ORM's I really like the https://github.com/cornucopia-rs/cornucopia way of doing things.
Basically write SQL in a file and code generate a function that runs the SQL for you and puts it into a struct (this one is for rust)
I think there's a library to do the same thing with typescript.
For me, the best way to talk to the database is with SQL and I don't have to learn an ORMs way of doing it.

Thoughts about switching from sqlx to tokio_postgres?
You can take a look at https://github.com/cornucopia-rs/cornucopia which is a thin codegen layer on top of tokio-postgres for ease of use.

Ask HN: ORM or Native SQL?
The best solution I've ever seen is this Rust library https://github.com/cornucopia-rs/cornucopia
You write plain SQL for you schema (just a schema.sql is enough) and plain SQL functions for your queries. Then it generates Rust types and Rust functions from from that. If you don't use Rust, maybe there's a library like that for your favorite language.
Optionally, pair it with https://github.com/bikeshedder/tusker or https://github.com/blainehansen/postgres_migrator (both are based off https://github.com/djrobstep/migra) to generate migrations by diffing your schema.sql files, and https://github.com/rust-db/refinery to perform those migrations.
Now, if you have simple crud needs, you should probably use https://postgrest.org/en/stable/ and not an ORM. There are packages like https://www.npmjs.com/package/@supabase/postgrest-js (for JS / typescript) and probably for other languages too.
If you insist on an ORM, the best of the bunch is prisma https://www.prisma.io/ - outside of the typescript/javascript ecosystem it has ports for some other languages (with varying degrees of completion), the one I know about is the Rust one https://prisma.brendonovich.dev/introduction
- Anything like sqlc for Rust?

What features would you consider missing/nice to haves for backend web development in Rust?
Does Cornucopia satisfy this requirement?

Supabase – General Availability Week
hey hn, supabase ceo her
we just announced GA, after ~4 years of beta. for those who don't know: supabase is a postgres hosting company. we also host other open source "backend" tools that make it easy to get started with postgres (tools like PostgREST for auto-generate APIs [0])
we owe a lot to the HN community. you launched us 4 years ago [1], when we were just a few developers. since then HN has been a staple in our journey, one of the best sources of product feedback [2]
the GA badge is mostly to signify organizational readiness. we're at a stage where we can take any profile of customer. we have a support team that works 24/7, and a success team that will help customers improve their postgres usage. we released our Index Advisor [3] yesterday, and we'll be releasing a few more products this week that helps customer with performance and security.
on a personal note: i read HN most days, and love going through the ShowHN's to see what devs are building. thanks for being an awesome community and my favorite place to lurk on the internet. i'll stick around to answer any questions

The Many Ways Not to Build an API
If you use PostgreSQL and are proficient with using its row-level security feature, you can choose from several tools/services built above RLS, including Supabase, PostgREST, and PostGraphile. They all provide a way to expose database CRUD as a web API, assuming you've configured the RLS rules to properly secure the access.

Build a simple project management app with Neon, PostgREST, and DigitalOcean

Single Software Developer Projects
SupaBase is entirely based upon PostgREST. In fact, PostgREST is arguably 49% of their value proposition according to their own website. The other 49% is PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL of course is a super mature database, and some would argue the best RDBMS on the planet, so let's ignore that part for a moment, and consider it a mature thing and move on to PostgREST.

Use PostgREST and HTMX to Build RESTful APIs from PostgreSQL Databases
PostgREST is a standalone web server that turns your PostgreSQL database into a RESTful API using the database's structural constraints and permissions to define the API's endpoints and operations. In this tutorial, you will create a simple note-taking app by leveraging PostgREST to construct a RESTful API for the app and using htmx to deliver HTML content.

We built our customer data warehouse all on Postgres
You might find some info in the docs of PostgREST [1] or in the previous discussions on HN about it [2].
For the versioning, I just have a git repo where I keep every role, schema, table, view, function, trigger, etc. definitions. Every time I change something in the database I first change it in the git repo too to have an history.
