postgres-typed VS awayto

This is really cool, will look into using it in future projects!

I also made a tool (https://github.com/vramework/schemats) that generates the types directly from the db, which means whenever you do a DB migration your database types automatically update. Was forked from the original schemats library a couple years ago.

I also created a lightweight library ontop of pg that is less of a query builder and more of a typed CRUD + SQL for non trivial queries (https://github.com/vramework/postgres-typed). Most queries I deal with in a day to day is usually crud so I find it a little easier, but it's much less powerful then Kysely! I fall more into the camp of writing complex queries in SQL with small helpers and writing simple ones with util functions and typescript

I'm working on a few projects, from one/two days to platforms.

The first is OS and is a simple nodeJS environment to deploy applications via lambda and express quickly. Sort of like nestJS except less decorators and more functional (https://vramework.io/). I already know of a few other colleagues that rolled their own propriety versions of this to support enterprise and cloud deployments so decided to OS it.

The other OS project is a strongly typed postgres/mysql driver. The idea is to generate typescript definitions directly from postgres (https://github.com/vramework/schemats) and then have a think layer ontop of pg-node that gives you strongly typed queries (https://github.com/vramework/postgres-typed).

An open-source project I spent a few years on the core team is https://deepstream.io/, a realtime-server that allows you to mix and match multiple streaming protocols (mqtt/websocket/others) and allow those clients to talk to each other using pub-sub and records. I'm not longer working for it but wanted to give it a shout out!

On a non OS project, I have been working on an immersive audio platform for a while now. The main goal is to allow users to pick and choose how audio books progress, and also have a live session mode which allows users to record their pulse / answer questions and a few other metrics and associate it with sentences. I pretty much built and deployed all of it but require some advice/brainstorming on how to proceed now. I built it to satisfy an itch when I was practicing shamanism during the first lockdown when I was in-between contracts / taking time off.

I also want to build a simple web-pages strategy game based around eco-education, but don't have the bandwidth . If anyone is interested in mixing together gamification and eco-village building might be a fun conversion to bounce ideas!

All the OS projects above were used to support my personal/a couple professional projects over the last few years.

I agree with your point that adding multiple layers = more attack vectors and abstraction of a really good domain specific language. But what seems to happen on most of the projects I work on is we end up hiding away extremely common logic behind helper functions. It always starts off with SQL and then slowly gets moved into higher level functions that offer a better developer experience.

Shameless plug, but I just posted a library I wrote (for node https://github.com/vramework/postgres-typed/blob/master/READ...) which pretty much is a tiny layer ontop of pg-node (which is query based / with value parameters) and provides small util functions with typescript support derived straight from postgres tables.

In an ideal world (one I think we are getting very close to) I think we will end up having SQL queries validated in our code against the actual DB structure the same way we have any other compilation error. But until then we'll need to rely on tests or helper libraries, and for the purpose of refactoring and development I find the latter more enjoyable (although still far from perfect).

Hey folks, just putting this up as a demo link for people to try out. It's a project I've been working on since January and in light of recent framework posts lately I figured I'd start talking about my own.

The link is a demo site of Awayto v2 [1] (ignore the front page info that's all from version 1). Awayto [0] started out as a quick deploy app which grew to exist via AWS. I felt the need to make something that wasn't so closely tied to cloud infra, and Awayto v2 is that. Currently deployed on hetzner vms, using Tailscale for networking, there is a great deal of things going on. There is a local installation path planned, as long as you provide your own servers, etc, as it all just works on Tailscale anyway. I'm still working on docs, but the goal is to spit out _everything_ a dev might want to control in their stack. My current version of deploying to hetzner sets up 7 servers (2 ns, exit, build, app, db, svc). Git profile [2] for more info, tech stack info.

This is just a short demo and will only be up a limited time. There's no email validation or anything, gibberish is welcome. You are not being tracked. I know I need how-to docs, video assists, and all that. Slow and steady. It's being hosted from a single warehouse in the Pacific Northwest, be kind. Caching is in play and not perfectly tuned so maybe wait a few minutes if something doesn't automatically show up. Any feedback is awesome. Cheers!

This is really cool to see in this format. Over the last few years I have spent my free time crafting a framework under similar ideologies. I think a lot of web devs end up making similar tools throughout their career, but perhaps never get to the point of sharing what they make. I finally formalized my framework last year and am well into battle testing it with clients and different projects. https://awayto.dev

In a similar light to what this FWA group is presenting, I also have put forth some points about why this style of web dev architecture is important and effective. https://awayto.blog/posts/webapps/

Actually, I started out reading Million Dollar Consulting last year and one of the first chapters essentially talks about the importance of having a portfolio of work, and being able to capitalize off that body of knowledge within to grow more as a consultant. Well, I took that as a sign to formalize a framework that would allow me to do my development work in a much more effective manner, as well as provide more out of the box functionality for my clients.

Overall, the experience has been really positive. Obviously I don't get to use my own framework with every client, and that's a good thing. But, when working with clients who need basic business problems solved, having an FWA style framework is going to allow you to iterate so much faster than traditional MVC platforms. At least this has been my experience. Specifically to that point, with templated and loosely coupled parts, you don't have to spend too long building your web app to get it to do something exceptional.

Thank you for your time.

I made a web application generation tool built on top of AWS. It deploys all the basics you need for a web application in the modern era (db, ui, api, users, groups, roles).

Hey there, I work on a project called Awayto. It generates and deploys web applications to AWS with all the base line bells and whistles (db, api, ui, user mgmt, react, typescript). I enjoy working on tools for developers and this is a project that's supposed to help developer consultants. It's a full stack framework, and there are of course many ways you could help or be involved, so if it sounds interesting please check it out!

A lot of the comments here are about difficulty cloud tech navigation/adoption. I create a framework built on top of AWS to try to alleviate a great deal of the infra management aspects of running web applications. It sets you up with all the basics out of the box in about 10 minutes (db, api, ui, users, groups, roles).

Along the same vein as other posts in this thread, startups and contractors need instantaneous test bed environments that support a lot out of the gate, and which can be the basis to scale from. I've been a contractor off and on for a few years and have seen this need first hand. So my tool is meant to fill in the foundations of great ideas, so those ideas can grow faster. I think that's an essential trait of cloud services that you will be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.
