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.

Idempotent seeds in Elixir
To ruin the party, deterministic UUID generation is exactly what UUID v5 is designed for. And since Ecto does not validate UUIDs against their specs, you might as well use uuid again and do:

Sketch of a Post-ORM
To me this looks a lot like ecto https://github.com/elixir-ecto/ecto
Is there a significant difference?

Do I need to use Elixir from Go perspective?
When it comes to building microservices, Go has the advantage of being easier to deploy and tighter integration with gRPC. On the other hand, Elixir will provide a more expressive layer to communicate with the database through Ecto.

Ask HN: Is my software stack choice sound?
May I ask why CouchDB though? Is it for the offline support?
Phoenix comes with its own database tool called Ecto[0] which is excellent, and it uses Postgres by default. If you're not intended to leverage CouchDB for offline support you should go Postgres without a second thought.
That said, I'm also curious about how to implement offline support with Phoenix in a nice and trivial way.

Do it to learn Elixir
The best would be to set aside at least 40 minutes of study a day. Being 20 minutes focused on the core of the language, solving problems and a website that can help you a lot and exercism. Another 20 minutes some of the core frameworks like: Phoenix, Ecto, Enum

Using CQRS in a simple Phoenix API with Commanded
This is a testiment to the value and productivity of Phoenix, but the resulting code is just basic CRUD. The views are tied 1:1 with their database-backed Ecto schemas. One thing to note is that Phoenix generates DDD-style contexts. This is unlike Rails, which would produce a typical ActiveRecord sprawl: bloated models directly being accessed and lazily queried across the entire application.

How to Use Macros in Elixir
Ecto uses prewalk to count the number of interpolations within a given expression.

Dynamic Queries in Ecto (Elixir Lang)
I've used my share of data access libraries and patterns (e.g. hibernate, activerecord, ecto, ...). The only time I've been happy is when I use raw SQL for non-dynamic SQL and a lightweight query builder for everything else.
I feel like I always run into some thing that at best isn't intuitive to express/read and at worse, cannot be expressed. If I remember correctly, when I was learning Elixir/Ecto, https://github.com/elixir-ecto/ecto/issues/1616 issue and the lack of lateral join support caused me issues.
Want to create a user?
"insert into users (id, name, status) values ($1, $2, $3)"
Our query builder takes pretty raw SQL fragments:
q = Query.new()

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.

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.

Don't know if you would call this a "program" but PostgREST is written is Haskell too.
