frameworks / ORM are just specilized database graphical user interface front ends designed to simplify how data is displayed/inputed
Database management systems usually provide a way of importing/exporting 'raw' data via sql statement(s) results. aka cvs, comma delimited, html formatted, json formatted, etc. aka do command line sql query with 'html formatted output' and open results of file in a brower.
postgres psql provides an interactive 'cli' environment; windows sql server - sqlcmd;
usql[1] provides something similar to psql for no-sql databases.
sqlc is sorta the equivalent of combining the command line shell & sql queries. SQLx rust is rust extention for handling 'sql from command line, just via rust language, instead of going through command line shell.'

My problem with RSS is that I tend to subscribe to too many things and then it's too much. Also I wanted a solution that was free or self hosted, but I realized it's much better if someone manages the complexity for me, so I just ended up going with the paid hosting for miniflux (https://miniflux.app/).
Now I've just subscribed to a few things I care about, I open the website from time to time, quickly mark as "read" stuff I'm not interested in, and when I have more time I just go through everything that is still unread, because it's been "filtered in". Seems to work!

Readers may also enjoy Steampipe [1], an open source tool to live query 140+ services with SQL (e.g. AWS, GitHub, CSV, Kubernetes, etc). It uses Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers under the hood and supports joins etc with other tables. (Disclaimer - I'm a lead on the project.)

Project mention: Xata: Postgres at scale, with copy-on-write branching and anonymization | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-17> we deploy the Postgres instances on Kubernetes via the CloudNativePG operator.
I'm curious if split brain cases already happeened. At scale, it should be so https://github.com/cloudnative-pg/cloudnative-pg/issues/7407

I totally agree with schema migrations being painful, have you seen the open-sourc e tool we developed to tackle this problem? It is called pgroll: https://github.com/xataio/pgroll
Any feedback is appreciated!

There are two major ways to deploy Postgres to Kubernetes. First is using Helm charts like bitnami/postgresql or Serge’s postgresql-single, which has benefits compared to bitnami chart. The second way to run Postgres is to use the Kubernetes operator. There are a couple of them, here we will talk about Zalando Postgres operator. The helm way is better when in the future you will not plan to use more than one or two Postgres clusters per Kubernetes cluster. If you realize, that you will run more, then the Operator way is for you with all its automation and management advantages. Here is an example of PostgreSQL database manifest for Zalando Postgres Operator pg-prod.yaml. This example was tested for intensive transaction processing with query rates up to 3000-4000 per second and database size up to 350GB (data and indexes). It is enough to start most projects with thousands of active users like medium-volume webshops, news- and community-support websites, medium-sized gaming or gambling, etc. We assume, that we already set up the operator and the S3 bucket with encryption and access control for backups and WAL-log storage.

Project mention: Show HN: Hatchet v1 – a task orchestration platform built on Postgres | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-03
Perceived only at this stage, though the kind of volume we’re looking at is 10s to 100s of millions of jobs per day. https://github.com/riverqueue/river/issues/746 talks about some of the same things you mention.
To be clear, I really like the model of riverqueue and will keep going at a leisurely pace since this is a personal time interest at the moment. I’m sick of celery and believe a service is a better model for background tasks than a language-specific tool.
If you guys were to build http ingestion and http targets I’d try and deploy it right away.
