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.

Write Postgres functions in Rust
It uses pgx (https://github.com/tcdi/pgx) which is our more generalized framework for developing Postgres extensions with Rust.

Why not Rust for Omnigres?
It's a great question, considering I've been using Rust for a number of years now, and I generally advocate its use for its rich ecosystem, safety and tooling. I actively contribute to pgx, a library for building Postgres extensions in Rust. Yet, Omnigres appears to be all done in C.

Supabase Wrappers: A Framework for Building Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers
Our release today is a framework which extends this functionality to other databases/systems. If you’re familiar with Multicorn[1] or Steampipe[2], then it’s very similar. The framework is written in Rust, using the excellent pgx[3].
We have developed FDWs for Stripe, Firebase, BigQuery, Clickhouse, and Airtable (all in various “pre-release” states). The plan is to focus on the tools we’re using internally while we stabalize the framework.
There’s a lot in the blog post into our goals for this release. It’s early, but one of the things I’m most excited about.

Postgres FTS vs the new wave of search engines
BTW one nice easter egg is that with pgx there is actually no reason that we can't build even better search solutions inside the database itself.
-
Postgres Full Text Search vs. the Rest
> That thread led me to a project/product idea where you take an existing Postgres instance used for normal products or whatever, replicate it to various read only clusters with a custom search extension loaded and some orchestrator sitting on top (I’ve written most of one in rust that uses 0mq to communicate with it’s nodes) and create drop in search from existing databases with a nice guided web gui for automatic tuning suitable for most business use cases.
Very interesting idea -- just want to add one thing, write it in rust (with pgx?[0]) :)

Show HN: pg_idkit, a Postgres extension for generating exotic UUIDs
Hey HN,
It turns out choosing a good database-optimized UUID (and deciding whether to use serial, etc) isn't quite so simple, and I finally got a chance to do some exploration, write about it[0].
One of the reasons Postgres is the best open source database out there is it's extensibility -- so I hacked up a small extension for generating some of the more exotic (but crucially, lexicograhically sortable) UUID generation mechanisms:
https://github.com/t3hmrman/pg_idkit
This idea has been bumbling around my head for a while, but I finally got a chance to build it while working with Supabase on a post about IDs[0]!
Most of the heavy lifting is done by pgx[1] which is an amazing framework for building Postgres extensions in Rust. I think we are very early to the trend of amazing postgres extensions built in Rust, and it's yet another reason that it's an exciting time to be all-in on Postgres.

Introducing pg_idkit: an extension for generating lexicographically sortable UUIDs (UUIDv6-8, CUID, Timeflake) in Postgres
The extension is still WIP but for those of ya'll that like Rust it's built on pgx which has excellent DX. The rust involved isn't complicated -- I'm basically laundering the functionality from other crates that are listed in the README.md.

GitHub - supabase/pg_jsonschema: PostgreSQL extension providing JSON Schema validation
Seems to be using this: https://github.com/tcdi/pgx
-
Show HN: Pg_jsonschema – A Postgres extension for JSON validation
- https://github.com/furstenheim/is_jsonb_valid
pgx[0] is going to be pretty revolutionary for the postgres ecosystem I think -- there is so much functionality that can be utilized at the database level and I can't think of a language I want to do it with more than Rust.

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.

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.
