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.

Serious flaws in SQL ā Edgar F. Codd (1990)
> 2. ORMs do not hide SQL nastiness.
This is certainly true!
I mean: ORMs are now well known to "make the easy queries slightly more easy, while making intermediate queries really hard and complex queries impossible".
I think the are of ORMs is over. It simply did not deliver.
If a book on SQL is --say-- 100 pages, a book on Hibernate is 400 pages. So much to learn just to make the easy queries slightly easier to type? Just not worth it.
I prefer jooq any day over ORMs. And dont get me started over what tools like Hasuna have to offer.
There are also some languages (forgot the names) that are SQL-done-right. Select in the back, more type safe, more logic, more in the same steps as the query gets executed. These need to be adopted by PG and MySQL and we're good to go. (IMHO)

The Many Ways Not to Build an API
Another strategy is to model access control declaratively and enforce it in the application layer. ZenStack (built above Prisma ORM) and Hasura are good examples of this approach. The following code shows how access policies are defined with ZenStack and how a secured CRUD API can be derived automatically.

The 2024 Web Hosting Report
Today, this ecosystem is going strong with new providers like Hasura, AppWrite and Supabase powering millions of projects. There are a few reasons people choose this style of hosting, especially if they are more comfortable with frontend development. BaaS lets them set up a database in a secure way, expose some business logic on top of the data, and connect via a dev-friendly SDK from their app or website code to save data easily. These modern tools build a blend of managed database with curated plugins such as authentication, great admin dashboards, and function as a service type capability - all in one package, and often offered as a integrated hosted service.

Ask HN: Is There a Zapier for APIs?
Hi! If youāve ever thought about something like using GraphQL for something like this.. You might like Hasura. (Obligatory I work for Hasura)
Weāve got an OpenAPI import and you can setup cron-jobs or one-off jobs and do things like load in headers from the environment variables to pass through. There isnāt currently an easy journey for chaining multiple calls together without writing any code at all, but you can wrap pretty much any API endpoint via OpenAPI import or a custom action, and you can even make minor edits to things like the API contract format to change aliases/naming.
Our goal is to join all the things, databases and APIās. Most people know us for instant GraphQL APIās that give you CRUD on your database, but we also wrap APIs.
Not sure if something like this would fit your use-case and do check out some of the other things mentioned, but depending what you are trying to do I think Hasura might potentially work.

Hasura and Keycloak integration with NestJS server
Hasura is an open-source real-time GraphQL API server with a strong authorization layer on your database. You can subscribe to database events via webhooks. It can combine multiple API servers into one unified graphQL API. Hasura is a great tool to build any CRUD GraphQL API. Hasura does not have any authentication mechanisms; e.g., you need an auth server to handle sign-up and sign-in.

NestJS tip: how to change HTTP server timeouts
When using the NestJS framework, sometimes you may need to change some default timeout. You can define them just like you'd do in a plain Node.js HTTP server like so:

Rust GraphQL APIs for NodeJS Developers: Introduction

From Frontend to Backend
That's exactly where I am. My manager gave me these links, that cover a lot of those words the backend uses, so I can identify what they mean and how to use them. 1. For inspiration and concepts: https://github.com/Sairyss/domain-driven-hexagon 2. Suggested to read the documentation for nest.js. They apply such concepts I don't understand: https://nestjs.com/
