Introducing pgzx: create PostgreSQL extensions using Zig
And lots of interesting extensions use it, like
https://github.com/tembo-io/pgmq
https://github.com/zombodb/zombodb

Create a search engine with PostgreSQL: Postgres vs Elasticsearch
Point 2 is generally solvable via engineering effort and careful dedicated code. From the existing tools, PGSync is an open source project that aims to specifically solve this problem. ZomboDB is an interesting Postgres extension that tackles point 2 (and I think partially point 3), by controlling and querying Elasticsearch through Postgres. I haven't yet tried either of these two projects, so I can't comment on their trade-offs, but I wanted to mention them.

Write Postgres functions in Rust
No. Haha. Was just the right name for https://github.com/zombodb/zombodb at the time. Software where the only limit is yourself!

Postgres Full-Text Search: A Search Engine in a Database
> The hardest part of building any search engine is keeping the index up-to-date with changes made to the underlying data store.
This deserves mention, as it solves that problem: https://github.com/zombodb/zombodb
From the README:
> ZomboDB brings powerful text-search and analytics features to Postgres by using Elasticsearch as an index type. Its comprehensive query language and SQL functions enable new and creative ways to query your relational data.
> From a technical perspective, ZomboDB is a 100% native Postgres extension that implements Postgres' Index Access Method API. As a native Postgres index type, ZomboDB allows you to CREATE INDEX ... USING zombodb on your existing Postgres tables. At that point, ZomboDB takes over and fully manages the remote Elasticsearch index and guarantees transactionally-correct text-search query results.
I find other things also hard in search engines: dealing with the plethora of human languages and all the requirements we may have to processing them. A mature solution like ES therefor is almost a must in the more demanding cases.

State of the art for serde-compatible CBOR encoding/decoding?
You can read more about it on our GitHub repo, but basically it brings most of the power of elasticsearch’s searching and analytics abilities straight into Postgres.

Ask HN: SQLite in Production?
I have not, but I keep meaning to collate everything I've learned into a set of useful defaults just to remind myself what settings I should be enabling and why.
Regarding Litestream, I learned pretty much all I know from their documentation: https://litestream.io/

How (and why) to run SQLite in production
This presentation is focused on the use-case of vertically scaling a single server and driving everything through that app server, which is running SQLite embedded within your application process.
This is the sweet-spot for SQLite applications, but there have been explorations and advances to running SQLite across a network of app servers. LiteFS (https://fly.io/docs/litefs/), the sibling to Litestream for backups (https://litestream.io), is aimed at precisely this use-case. Similarly, Turso (https://turso.tech) is a new-ish managed database company for running SQLite in a more traditional client-server distribution.

Ask HN: Time travel" into a SQLite database using the WAL files?
I've been messing around with litestream. It is so cool. And, I either found a bug in the -timestamp switch or don't understand it correctly.
What I want to do is time travel into my sqlite database. I'm trying to do some forensics on why my web service returned the wrong data during a production event. Unfortunately, after the event, someone deleted records from the database and I'm unsure what the data looked like and am having trouble recreating the production issue.
Litestream has this great switch: -timestamp. If you use it (AFAICT) you can time travel into your database and go back to the database state at that moment. However, it does not seem to work as I expect it to:
https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream/issues/564
I have the entirety of the sqlite database from the production event as well. Is there a way I could cycle through the WAL files and restore the database to the point in time before the records I need were deleted?
Will someone take sqlite and compile it into the browser using WASM so I can drag a sqlite database and WAL files into it and then using a timeline slider see all the states of the database over time? :)

Ask HN: Are you using SQLite and Litestream in production?
We're using SQLite in production very heavily with millions of databases and fairly high operations throughput.
But we did run into some scariness around trying to use Litestream that put me off it for the time being. Litestream is really cool but it is also very much a cool hack and the risk of database corruption issues feels very real.
The scariness I ran into was related to this issue https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream/issues/510

Pocketbase: Open-source back end in 1 file
Litestream is a library that allows you to easily create backups. You can probably just do analytic queries on the backup data and reduce load on your server.

Why you should probably be using SQLite
One possible strategy is to have one directory/file per customer which is one SQLite file. But then as the user logs in, you have to look up first what database they should be connected to.
OR somehow derive it from the user ID/username. Keeping all the customer databases in a single directory/disk and then constantly "lite streaming" to S3.
Because each user is isolated, they'll be writing to their own database. But migrations would be a pain. They will have to be rolled out to each database separately.
One upside is, you can give users the ability to take their data with them, any time. It is just a single file.

Monitor your Websites and Apps using Uptime Kuma
Upstream Kuma uses a local SQLite database to store account data, configuration for services to monitor, notification settings, and more. To make sure that our data is available across redeploys, we will bundle Uptime Kuma with Litestream, a project that implements streaming replication for SQLite databases to a remote object storage provider. Effectively, this allows us to treat the local SQLite database as if it were securely stored in a remote database.
