  • SQLGateway

    HTTP Gateway for SQL databases with connection pooling and caching. An Edge Functions's best friend.

    Super excited for this! I had made https://github.com/danthegoodman1/SQLGateway as a result of not having this capability.

    One issue I see is the cost of constantly opening and closing a TCP connection for something like the postgres example. Postgres specifically has quite a high cost for each connection. Pgbouncer helps, but this could still be pretty consequential at the concurrency that workers can offer.

    Maybe in the future we could create local pools that can be shared across executions, similar to how AWS Lambda does it now?

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
