    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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]

  • beekeeper-studio

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

  • zombodb

    Making Postgres and Elasticsearch work together like it's 2023

  • Milvus

    A cloud-native vector database, storage for next generation AI applications

  • 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.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • pg_tm_aux

    Transfer manager auxiliary functions

  • nhost

    The Open Source Firebase Alternative with GraphQL.

  • Supabase looks nice. Iā€™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?

  • squawk

    šŸ˜ linter for PostgreSQL, focused on migrations

  • 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)

  • patroni

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

  • stolon

    PostgreSQL cloud native High Availability and more.

  • mongo-java-driver

    The official MongoDB drivers for Java, Kotlin, and Scala

  • 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

  • SaaSHub

    SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives
