vulcan-sql VS Directus

I am one of the members of an open-source project VulcanSQL, a Data API Framework for data applications that helps data folks create and share data APIs faster.

I am excited to introduce an open-source project that our team has recently been developing, all written in Typescript. VulcanSQL (https://vulcansql.com/) is a data API framework that allows data engineers to create APIs using only templated SQL (jinja).

Hi, thanks for you comment.

I'm William, contributor of VulcanSQL.

We're an API framework, not a database like ClickHouse. We enable data engineers to build data APIs fast on top of their OLAP, which including ClickHouse. In fact, you can see from our issues (https://github.com/Canner/vulcan-sql/issues/138), ClickHouse users actually ask us to bring ClickHouse connector to VulcanSQL.

VulcanSQL (https://vulcansql.com/) offers a powerful solution for building embedded analytics and automation use cases, and it leverages the impressive capabilities of DuckDB as a caching layer. This combination brings about cost reduction and a significant boost in performance, making it an excellent choice for those seeking to optimize their data processing architecture.

Directus is an open data platform built to serve as a headless CMS, API, or Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) for other applications. It is designed to make data accessible to people of all technical levels and to make it easy to build data-centric applications. Directus is extensible and can be integrated with many different frontend technologies to create stable, well-structured development and user experiences.

As of April 2024, Directus' GitHub repository has accumulated 25.2k stars and 3.5k forks, showcasing its active community. The project has secured $8+ million in funding, further fueling its growth and development.

I don't know, it's something I've wanted many times.

Recently I discovered https://directus.io/ which comes pretty close and it's open source.

I using Directus CMS on several projects with pretty complicated flows, api extensions etc. probably there will be some work if you move. I liked Directus is because it's standard SQL I can always move my DB and documents to another solution. I don't use their hosted solution but they have an unlimited offering for $100 / month.

Have you looked at Directus? I’m not sure exactly what your needs are (sorry if I’ve misunderstood). I used it for my most recent project as the backend for data entry/queries/administration. It supports MySQL, but admins don’t need to know anything about SQL to do complex queries/filters/CSV exports from the Directus UI.
