  • Problem with SubDomains (Multitenancy)
    1 project | /r/nextjs | 15 Sep 2023
    I am trying to add subdomains to my project where I am trying to have [slug].domainname.com and then also just the regular dominname.com, I structured my code app router to be app, then api, [subdomain], and home. then i created middleware based on the platforms template code https://github.com/vercel/platforms/tree/main Heres the middleware: import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from "next/server"; export const config = { matcher: [ /* * Match all paths except for: * 1. /api routes * 2. /_next (Next.js internals) * 3. /_static (inside /public) * 4. all root files inside /public (e.g. /favicon.ico) */ "/((?!api/|_next/|_static/|_vercel|[\\w-]+\\.\\w+).*)", ], }; export default function middleware(req) { const url = req.nextUrl;

    1 project | /r/SaaS | 7 Jul 2023
    $15k MRR for Instatus A big congratulations to Ali Salah for reaching $15k MRR with his uptime status tool Instatus. It lets you show users a status page and helps you communicate with users if your app goes down. Nice seeing an indie hacker doing well! ​ Meta launches Threads Mark Zuckerburg has capitalized on the chaos at Twitter to launch a copycat, Threads. At the moment you can only get an account from signing in with your Instagram account. It allows you to import all your Instagram followers although it seems like a lot of people don't use Instagram to follow tech accounts so you might need to start from scratch. There is no desktop app at the moment. Threads has hit 30 million users in 48 hours but is banned in the EU because of all the data it collects from users i.e. browsing history, financial transaction history, health data. Twitter has threatened legal action against Meta​ Veed launches AI avatars Veed, the online video editing tool, has launched its AI avatar feature. It's pretty mad how quickly things have advanced but now you can pick an AI-generated face, write some text and you now have a video of someone talking for you. For people who are camera shy, this could be a great way of creating YouTube videos! Just write some text and you don't have to show your face on camera. Veed got Product of the Day on Product Hunt with this tool: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/veed-ai-avatars ​ New NextJS template Vercel have released the Platform Starter Kit v.2 which lets you make a multi-tenant site with NextJS https://github.com/vercel/platforms For instance, you might want to make a SaaS where people can choose their own sub domains or custom domains like Noah Bragg did with his Notion-based blogging tool Potion​

  • Serious flaws in SQL – Edgar F. Codd (1990)
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 25 Apr 2024
    > 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.

    37 projects | dev.to | 20 Feb 2024
    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?
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Feb 2024
    Hi! If you’ve ever thought about something like using GraphQL for something like this.. You might like Hasura. (Obligatory I work for Hasura)

    We’ve 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 isn’t 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 API’s. Most people know us for instant GraphQL API’s 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.

    You can find out more here: https://hasura.io

    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.
