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.

Oink: An API for PHP in a single file
You don't need this PHP snippet:
To get the same functionality without the extra step, simply use PostgREST [1]

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.

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

Planner programming blows my mind
Pleasantly surprised to see Predrag show up as a reviewer, but at the same time not at all surprised:
- The [Firebase technical screen](https://startupandrew.com/posts/how-firebase-interviewed-sof...) would have been much easier with something like this, as it was Just Another Optimization Problem™. Part of me wants to try it again with Picat!
- He's doing other very interesting things with programming languages, e.g.: https://github.com/obi1kenobi/trustfall

Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (December 2023)
Email: [email protected]
Hi, I'm u9g. I'm looking for an internship for either this winter (in a few weeks) or a summer internship!
Some things I've done:
I integrated a [query engine for lints](https://github.com/obi1kenobi/trustfall) (and contributed optimizations) into [OXC](https://github.com/oxc-project/oxc) (a new Rust-based Javascript Linter).
I wrote [several](https://github.com/u9g/money-lens) [toy](https://github.com/u9g/quickquestion/tree/main/extension) languages and syntax highlighting for them.
I also wrote a [js-to-scheme transpiler](https://github.com/u9g/js2scheme/blob/main/example.js).
Happy to work on things compiler or database oriented, but also happy to learn something new!

Semver violations are common, better tooling is the answer
If you'd like to dig deeper, here are some links:
- cargo-semver-checks: https://github.com/obi1kenobi/cargo-semver-checks
- Trustfall query engine, which powers cargo-semver-checks: https://github.com/obi1kenobi/trustfall
- Trustfall playground, where you can query Rust library APIs in your browser -- for example, "which structs in `itertools` are importable by more than one path": https://play.predr.ag/rustdoc#?f=2&q=*3-Structs-importable-f...
- 10min conference talk on Trustfall: https://www.hytradboi.com/2022/how-to-query-almost-everythin...
I'm also giving a talk at P99 CONF in a few months about how Trustfall's new optimizations API made cargo-semver-checks over 2300x faster: https://twitter.com/PredragGruevski/status/16893002495908003...

Cargo-semver-checks: Scan your Rust crate for semver violations
No worries!
Trustfall is even more general than semver actually, one can use it to query any data source -- even HN itself:
https://play.predr.ag/HackerNews
Here's a link to that project if you'd like to check it out:

I gave a 10min conference talk on it last year titled "How to query (almost) everything"

We created Taxi, and why we felt the need for Another Schema Language
I've had my eye on Taxi for a while, and it's neat! I agree that the problems it aims to solve are real and painful in real life.
In my experience, I'm not sure people care about schemas or schema languages — they are just implementation details best left under the hood. This is why in my own work, I started on the query end of the spectrum instead.
This is why I built Trustfall, a query engine able to query any data source: DBs, APIs, files like PDF, CSV, or JSON, or any combination of those.
