roapi VS rust-graphql-actix-juniper-diesel-example

If your use case is read-only I suggest taking a look at roapi[1]. It supports multiple read frontends (GraphQL, SQL, REST) and many backends like SQLite, JSON, google sheets, MySQL, etc.

For smaller datasets then anywhere up to a few mb which isn't so bad reasonable with an API but in theory for historic data it could be up to several gb. I've not seen datasette go that high (IIRC it's a 1000 row return limit by default).

That's what got me intrigued with Atlassians offering, as data lakes tend to be something internal to a company, not something I've ever seen offered as an interaction point to users.

I've also tested out roapi [1] which is nice if the data is in some structured format already (Parquet/JSON)

Very cool and well executed project. Love the sprinkle of Rust in all the other companion projects as well :)

The ROAPI(https://github.com/roapi/roapi) project I built also happened to support a similar feature set, i.e. to expose sqlite through a variety of remote query interfaces including pg wire protocols, rest apis and graphqls.

You might be interested in what we're building: Seafowl, a database designed for running analytical SQL queries straight from the user's browser, with HTTP CDN-friendly caching [0]. It's a second iteration of the Splitgraph DDN [1] which we built on top of PostgreSQL (Seafowl is much faster for this use case, since it's based on Apache DataFusion + Parquet).

The tradeoff for allowing the client to run any SQL vs a limited API is that PostgREST-style queries have a fairly predictable and low overhead, but aren't as powerful as fully-fledged SQL with aggregations, joins, window functions and CTEs, which have their uses in interactive dashboards to reduce the amount of data that has to be processed on the client.

There's also ROAPI [2] which is a read-only SQL API that you can deploy in front of a database / other data source (though in case of using databases as a data source, it's only for tables that fit in memory).

And if you're looking for a similar experience (very fast analytical SQL queries) but over HTTP, for example, to power a public dashboard or a visualization, you can try ROAPI [0] or Seafowl [1], also built on top of DataFusion (disclaimer: working on Seafowl):

It could be the NDJSON parser (DF source: [0]) or could be a variety of other factors. Looking at the ROAPI release archive [1], it doesn't ship with the definitive `columnq` binary from your comment, so it could also have something to do with compilation-time flags.

FWIW, we use the Parquet format with DataFusion and get very good speeds similar to DuckDB [2], e.g. 1.5s to run a more complex aggregation query `SELECT date_trunc('month', tpep_pickup_datetime) AS month, COUNT(*) AS total_trips, SUM(total_amount) FROM tripdata GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1 ASC)` on a 55M row subset of NY Taxi trip data.

I have found some examples of authentication at the handler level, and example being here. Summarized code:

Hello, It's been almost 2 months since I started to learn Rust, I think I've learnt everything I need to start developing something practical and useful with it, I'm specifically looking for something web-related like this project I found.
