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.

Ask HN: How Can I Make My Front End React to Database Changes in Real-Time?
- Some platforms like Supabase Realtime [3] and Firebase offer subscription models to database changes, but these solutions fall short when dealing with complex queries involving joins or group-bys.
My vision is that the modern frontend to behave like a series of materialized views that dynamically update as the underlying data changes. Current state management libraries handle state trees well but don't seamlessly integrate with relational or graph-like database structures.
The only thing I can think of is to implement it by myself, which sounds like a big PITA.
Anything goes, Brainstorm with me. Is it causing you headaches as well? Are you familiar with an efficient solution? how are you all tackling it?

Readyset: A MySQL and Postgres wire-compatible caching layer
I just wanted to give a high five for having Jepsen tests for this: https://github.com/readysettech/readyset/tree/stable-240117/...

Fine-grained caching strategies of dynamic queries
This example is a great use case for partial incremental view maintenance systems like ReadySet: you automatically get something like the “prepopulating the cache” section (toward the end of the blog) while only caching the data the application is using, and avoiding the need to manually implement any sort of invalidation logic.
(Disclaimer: I used to work for them, but don’t anymore. It’s all available for free on GitHub though for anyone interested: https://github.com/readysettech/readyset)

90x Faster Than Pgvector – Lantern's HNSW Index Creation Time
(disclosure, i work at supabase and have been developing TLEs with the RDS team)
Trusted Language Extensions refer to an extension written in any trusted language. In this case Rust, but it also includes: plpgsql, plv8, etc. See [0]
> PL/Rust is a more performant and more feature-rich alternative to PL/pgSQL
This is only partially true. plpgsql has bindings to low-level Postgres APIs, so in some cases it is just as fast (or faster) than Rust.
> Building a vector index (or any index for that matter) inside Postgres is a more involved process and can not be done via the UDF interface, be it Rust, C or PL/pgSQL
Most PG Rust extensions are written with the excellent pgrx framework [1]. While it doesn't have index bindings right now, I can certainly imagine a future where this is possible[2].
All that said - I think there are a lot of hoops to jump through right now and I doubt it's worth it for the Latern team. I think they are right to focus on developing a separate C extension

SQL as API
I’m currently playing with PostgreSQL, foreign data wrappers, and pgrx rust extensions. My development experience has been surprisingly smooth and enjoyable.
My main issue is that joins will be processed locally, so all the foreign data will be fetched before the join happens. But otherwise basic CRUD is easy.

Postgres: The Next Generation
I think maybe what you’re really looking for are the files here: https://github.com/pgcentralfoundation/pgrx/tree/c2eac033856...
Those are the internals we currently expose as unsafe “sys” bindings.
As we/contributors identify more that are desired we add them.
pgrx’ focus is on providing safe wrappers and general interfaces to the Postgres internals, which is the bulk of our work and is what will take many years.
As unsafe bindings go, we could just expose everything, and likely eventually will. There’s just some practical management concerns around doing that without a better namespace organization —- something we’ve been working.
The Postgres sources are not small. They are very complex, inconsistent in places, and often follow patterns that are specific to Postgres and not easy to generalize.
If you’ve never built an extension with pgrx, give it a shot one afternoon. It’s very exciting to see your own code running in your database.
