    In a previous post, I published an example with PostgREST on YugabyteDB. Here is another one: pREST opens a REST API to PostgreSQL. YugabyteDB is a PostgreSQL-compatible Open-Source Distributed SQL database. It adds horizontal scalability to applications built for PostgreSQL. Let's see how it integrates with pREST.

  • Admin panel for Go back end?

    So this is something I've been pondering about for a while and I think I've settled to using Directus: https://directus.io/ as my db admin and dbmate for migrations. Alternatively you could use react admin: https://marmelab.com/react-admin/ . The only problem with the latter is that it requires you to build your rest endpoint for CRUD but you can use postgrest: https://postgrest.org/en/stable/ (or it's go alternative prest: https://prestd.com/) for that.
