Show HN: Query Your Sheets with SheetSQL
Readers may also enjoy Steampipe [1], an open source CLI to live query Google Sheets [2] and 140+ other services with SQL (e.g. AWS, GitHub, etc). It uses Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers under the hood and supports joins etc across the services. (Disclaimer - I'm a lead on the project.)

Osquery: An sqlite3 virtual table exposing operating system data to SQL
be mindful of its AGPLv3 https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.21.8/LICENSE (AFAIK v0.4.3 is the last MIT release https://github.com/turbot/steampipe/blob/v0.4.3/LICENSE ) and the actual providers are Apache 2 <https://github.com/turbot/steampipe-plugin-aws/blob/v0.131.0...> (but I don't know if provider drift makes them compatible with 0.4 or not)
iasql seems to be AWS only, but good for them for taking this on:

How to run an AWS CIS v3.0 assessment in CloudShell
In a prior post I showed how to install Steampipe in AWS CloudShell to instantly query over 460+ resource types from your AWS APIs using SQL, and another post on how to use the Steampipe AWS Compliance mod to assess over 25+ security benchmarks across your AWS accounts.

Cutting down AWS cost by $150k per year simply by shutting things off
Readers may find Steampipe's [1] AWS Thrifty Mod [2] useful. It will automatically scan multiple accounts and regions for 50 cost saving opportunities - many of which are looking for over-provisioned or unused resources. For example, it's crazy how much you can save by doing things like just converting your EBS volumes to the newer gp3 type. Combine with Flowpipe [3] to automate checks and actions. It's all open source and extensible.

Zero-ETL for Postgres: Live-query cloud APIs with 100 open source FDWs
Steampipe [1] is an open source project [2] that includes an embedded Postgres to instantly query cloud, code & more with SQL. This release expands our plugin ecosystem [3] to be a full Zero-ETL platform. Steampipe plugins can now run natively in your own Postgres as Foreign Data Wrappers [4], as SQLite extensions [5] or as simple data export tools [6]. Please give it a try, we'd love your feedback and contributions!

5 Open Source tools written in Golang that you should know about
Steampipe is a tool that simplifies data extraction from APIs and services, eliminating the need for ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes. It includes several components: the Steampipe CLI for querying APIs, ensuring compliance, and creating dashboards; Steampipe Postgres FDWs (Foreign Data Wrappers) which turn APIs into foreign tables in Postgres; Steampipe SQLite extensions that convert APIs into SQLite virtual tables; and standalone export tools for directly exporting data from APIs without requiring a database. Additionally, Turbot Pipes, a part of Steampipe, offers capabilities for querying, checking, and visualizing data, tailored for DevOps teams with a focus on intelligence, automation, and security.

Wazero: Zero dependency WebAssembly runtime written in Go
Never got it to anything close to a finished state, instead moving on to doing the same prototype in llvm and then cranelift.
That said, here's some of the wazero-based code on a branch - https://github.com/cube2222/octosql/tree/wasm-experiment/was...
It really is just a very very basic prototype.

DuckDB: Querying JSON files as if they were tables
This is really cool!
With their Postgres scanner[0] you can now easily query multiple datasources using SQL and join between them (i.e. Postgres table with JSON file). Something I strived to build with OctoSQL[1] before.
It's amazing to see how quickly DuckDB is adding new features.
Not a huge fan of C++, which is right now used for authoring extensions, it'd be really cool if somebody implemented a Rust extension SDK, or even something like Steampipe[2] does for Postgres FDWs which would provide a shim for quickly implementing non-performance-sensitive extensions for various things.
Godspeed!

Show HN: ClickHouse-local – a small tool for serverless data analytics
Congrats on the Show HN!
It's great to see more tools in this area (querying data from various sources in-place) and the Lambda use case is a really cool idea!
I've recently done a bunch of benchmarking, including ClickHouse Local and the usage was straightforward, with everything working as it's supposed to.
Just to comment on the performance area though, one area I think ClickHouse could still possibly improve on - vs OctoSQL[0] at least - is that it seems like the JSON datasource is slower, especially if only a small part of the JSON objects is used. If only a single field of many is used, OctoSQL lazily parses only that field, and skips the others, which yields non-trivial performance gains on big JSON files with small queries.
Basically, for a query like `SELECT COUNT(*), AVG(overall) FROM books.json` with the Amazon Review Dataset, OctoSQL is twice as fast (3s vs 6s). That's a minor thing though (OctoSQL will slow down for more complicated queries, while for ClickHouse decoding the input is and remains the bottleneck).

Steampipe – Select * from Cloud;
To add somewhat of a counterpoint to the other response, I've tried the Steampipe CSV plugin and got 50x slower performance vs OctoSQL[0], which is itself 5x slower than something like DataFusion[1]. The CSV plugin doesn't contact any external API's so it should be a good benchmark of the plugin architecture, though it might just not be optimized yet.
That said, I don't imagine this ever being a bottleneck for the main use case of Steampipe - in that case I think the APIs themselves will always be the limiting part. But it does - potentially - speak to what you can expect if you'd like to extend your usage of Steampipe to more than just DevOps data.

Go runtime: 4 years later
Actually, folks just use gRPC or Yaegi in Go.
See Terraform[0], Traefik[1], or OctoSQL[2].
Although I agree plugins would be welcome, especially for performance reasons, though also to be able to compile and load go code into a running go process (JIT-ish).

Beginner interested in learning SQL. Have a few question that I wasn’t able to find on google.
Through more magic, you COULD of course use stuff like Spark, or easier with programs like TextQL, sq, OctoSQL.
