  1. walrus

    Applying RLS to PostgreSQL WAL (by supabase)

    [Supabase cofounder] thanks for the kind words.

    We're about to wrap up Row Level Security on our real-time APIs too[0] - soon you'll be able to use Policies universally on all APIs.

  3. postgrest

    REST API for any Postgres database

    [supabase cofounder] While we position ourselves as a Firebase alternative, it might be simpler for experienced techies to think of us as an easy way to use Postgres.

    We give you a full PG database for every project, and auto-generated APIs using PostgREST [0]. We configure everything in your project so that it's easy to use Postgres Row Level Security.

    As OP mentions, we also provide a few additional services that you typically need when building a product - connection pooling (pgbouncer) object storage, authentication + user management, dashboards, reports, etc. You don't need to use all of these - you can just use us as a "DBaaS" too.

  4. pgvector

    Open-source vector similarity search for Postgres

    I recall seeing some library that adds vector search to Postgres. Maybe https://github.com/ankane/pgvector?

    Also there's Pinecone (https://www.pinecone.io) which can sit alongside Postgres or any other data warehouse and ingest vector embeddings + metadata for vector search/retrieval.

  5. postbird

    Open source PostgreSQL GUI client for macOS, Linux and Windows

    I've been trying out Beekeeper Studio [https://www.beekeeperstudio.io/] recently, and like that it supports both MySQL and PostgreSQL (and others I don't use). The interface takes a little bit to get used to, but it's been pretty powerful for me.

    Before that, or when I'm in a rush to just get something done as I adjust to Beekeeper, I use Postbird (an Electron app) [https://github.com/Paxa/postbird]

  6. beekeeper-studio

    Modern and easy to use SQL client for MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, SQL Server, and more. Linux, MacOS, and Windows.

  7. zombodb

    Making Postgres and Elasticsearch work together like it's 2023

  8. Milvus

    Milvus is a high-performance, cloud-native vector database built for scalable vector ANN search

    I need a self managed solution, so I'm not sure Pinecone is feasible and I don't think pgvector scales well enough for my use-case (hundreds of millions of vectors).

    So far I think I'm going to go with Milvus[1], ideally I'd just have a foreign data wrapper for Milvus or FAISS.

  10. pg_tm_aux

    Transfer manager auxiliary functions

  11. nhost

    The Open Source Firebase Alternative with GraphQL.

    Supabase looks nice. I’m also using Postgres hosted by https://nhost.io/ which also do auth and storage. It looks like Supabase is focused on REST and Nhost is focused on GraphQL?

  12. squawk

    🐘 Linter for Postgres migrations & SQL

    We've had good success with https://github.com/sbdchd/squawk to lint migrations. It tells you if a query is going to lock your table (as long as it's written in SQL, not some ORM DSL)

  13. patroni

    A template for PostgreSQL High Availability with Etcd, Consul, ZooKeeper, or Kubernetes

  14. stolon

    PostgreSQL cloud native High Availability and more.

  15. mongo-java-driver

    The official MongoDB drivers for Java, Kotlin, and Scala

  16. pgsanity

    Check syntax of postgresql sql files

    I used pgsanity at the CLI for a while when I had coding and testing split between two machines. Can be used with any editor. https://github.com/markdrago/pgsanity
