6. hatchet

   5 34 7,918 9.9 Go

   🪓 An orchestration engine for background tasks, AI agents, and durable workflows

   

   Project mention: The startup's Postgres survival guide | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-07-22

   I would highly recommend using ORM's, with the caveat to know exactly when not to use them. Startups do not fall in that bucket.

   1. Most of these advices are unfortunately impractical and incomplete for startups. A good Data Model is highly dependent on understanding the business requirements, data flows. Means unless you are repeating yourself in the same domain its really hard to come up with a good schema in first iteration.

   2. Startups are in the mode of discovering the schema for most part

   3. Deleting columns is harder than adding additional columns, no one takes that risk so everyone ends up with schema bloat

   4. Once you go a little bigger you will realize that the integer based UUID are not that great of a choice. Those are separate tables which maintain those index counters and not part of your DDLs. They have their own set of issues with data merging, backups and recovery

   For the OP, I looked at the repo (https://github.com/hatchet-dev/hatchet/blob/main/sql/schema/...) ,

   1. seems like the schema has database functions - Thats a potential scaling issue, plus you are asking vertical only scalable component to do something which could have taken care by horizontally scalable component

   2. TEXT datatype for pretty much every attribute - this is a footgun, you cant use them for indexes properly, in the absence of length checks they can be abused from client side

7. superplane

   6 1 7,109 9.9 Go

   Open source factory for one-shot engineering

    🏎️ Streams & Reactive Programming paradigm for Go: declarative and composable API for event-driven applications

    

    Project mention: Go beyond Goroutines: introducing the Reactive paradigm | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-10-27

    The supposedly bad example is perfectly readable to anyone familiar with Go. A bit of refactoring into first class functions, and you'd have an easy to read, idiomatic, easy to test, well typed code base.

    Meanwhile the samber/ro example is incomplete (Subscribe(...)?), and the source includes some weird stuff: https://github.com/samber/ro/blob/22b84c8296c01c4085e8913944...

    Not to mention heaps of reflection and panics: https://github.com/samber/ro/blob/22b84c8296c01c4085e8913944...

    The functionality and expressiveness might be fantastic, but I would evaluate it very carefully before use.
