Either way, I'm not too familiar with RxDB but looking at the docs you can also use StepZen to create the GraphQL layer that you use for replication. With StepZen you can build and deploy a GraphQL API based on multiple datasources (including MSSQL) in minutes. That way you only have to worry about building the logic that pulls and push replicates data to and from GraphQL. How you structure the MSSQL database would become the most important part of this project, to ensure a smooth replication.

There are multiple ways to get a GraphQL API on top off a Postgres database. If you want to have a GraphQL abstraction layer that runs as a hosted service and needs almost no code, have a look at StepZen. You can build a GraphQL API for the Postgres database by following the docs here. StepZen introspects the database (using stepzen import postgresql) and let it create the schema for you based on all the tables and columns of your database. Including a set of queries to get started with.

If you’re looking for a managed service, have a look atStepZen. You can combine multiple GraphQL schemas into one cloud GraphQL API. Instead of writing a gateway yourself, you can use SDL to merge different schemas. Besides GraphQL APIs you can also “federate” other data sources like SQL or REST

There are many of them, including StepZen which is language/framework agnostic and let you create a GraphQL server with GraphQL SDL only - in a declarative way

I’ve seen more products letting you join/merge GraphQL schemas independent of schema stitching or federation. Have a look at GraphQL Mesh or StepZen.

You can save yourself the hassle of having to build a GraphQL server, resolvers and database connections with StepZen (https://stepzen.com). It’s a product that is based solely on GraphQL SDL and you set the database connections with directives. Also, you can use it to connect other APIs

There is one thing I can say for sure: I love the spirit of open source. I've had a wonderful time working with open source communities of different sizes (e.g. Seneca-CDOT, StepZen, Appwrite, and Zulip). Fortunately, all of them are fantastic and patient with beginners.

If the only thing you're trying to do is converting a REST API to GraphQL, you should have a look at https://stepzen.com/

StepZen filed an issue about writing a GraphQL schema to integrate SpaceX REST API into their React application. I found this as an excellent opportunity for me to learn GraphQL.

Zulip — Real-time chat with a unique email-like threading model. The free plan includes 10,000 messages of search history and File storage up to 5 GB. also, it provides a self-hostable open-source version.

(1) Zulip Chat - https://zulip.com/ - seems to be reasonably popular, but more people should know about it

I’ve been using it for over 5 years now [1], and it’s as good as ever. It’s way faster than any other chat app I’ve used. It has a good UI and conversation model. It has a simple and functional API that lets me curl threads and write blog posts based on them.

(only problem is that I Ctrl-+ in my browser to make the font bigger – I think it’s too dense for most people)

(2) re2c regex to state machine compiler - https://re2c.org

A gem from the 90’s, which people have done a great job maintaining and improving (getting Go and Rust target support in the last few years). I started using it in 2016, and used for a new program a few months ago. I came to the conclusion that it should have been built into C, because C has shitty string processing – and Ken Thompson both invented C AND brought regular languages to computing !!

In comparison, treesitter lexers are very low level, fiddly, and error prone. I recently saw dozens of ad hoc fixes to the tree-sitter-bash lexer, which is unsurprising if you look at the structure of the code (manually crawling through backslashes and braces in C).

https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash/blob/master/...

These fixes are definitely appreciated, but I think it indicates a problem with the model itself.

A few more truly in the vibe of open source projects not advertising their hosting providers: https://plane.so/ , https://element.io/ , https://www.loomio.com/ , https://zulip.com/ , and it keeps going... Very few open source projects, in the FOSS sense, are advertising their hosting provider.

I was so excited to see this happen!

I'm not a customer of yours, but your blog posts inspired me a lot. Your journey through quitting caffeine is a great and heartening read.

I've got two things to say;

1) Will you consider source-availabling the web portal (app.keygen.sh) too? Some enterprises could use it for easy management/support for custoner's licenses. Although now that I think about it, it could also discourage custom, more suitable implementations for each use-case... I'm torn on this one. I would like to see it available on GitHub too just out of curiosity too. It's very beautiful.

2) For a team + customers' chat, I cannot recommend Zulip enough. It's a joy to use and has the most innovative chat system I've ever seen. https://zulip.com

I hope your business keeps prospering!
