This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • lightdash

    Self-serve BI to 10x your data team ⚡️

  • 1) An integration with Metabase Cloud is on our roadmap for Q1! We'd love to integrate with Lightdash, but they don't have a public API just yet[1].

    2) Several of our customers use us to alert on schema changes in Postgres, specifically so they can get ahead of application database changes that will end up in the warehouse, so you're definitely not alone! Here's a link on how to connect postgres: https://docs.metaplane.dev/docs/postgres

    That's an excellent stack and one we kept front and center when building out Metaplane, so definitely let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions here!

  • DataProfiler

    What's in your data? Extract schema, statistics and entities from datasets

  • My team has worked on a library for a similar purpose:

    https://github.com/capitalone/DataProfiler

    Load any document, profile and monitor the profiles for changes that would impact downstream applications.

    Very common problem, you all are in a great space! Very interested and will check out!

    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.

    Apache Superset is a Data Visualization and Data Exploration Platform

  • Congrats on the launch! Any plans to integrate with Apache Superset? https://superset.apache.org/

  • zdbc

    A repository to provide abstracted jdbc access via ziti

  • Congrats on the launch. Well done.

    another security approach is to enable your customers to close their inbound firewall ports and link listeners. this helps cloud and on prem models have far stronger security.

    example here (disclosure: i am a founder of the company behind this solution) with both open source and OEM/SaaS models:

    https://github.com/openziti-incubator/zdbc (code for one implementation - a wrapper around the JDBC drivers)

    https://netfoundry.io/zero-trust-database-security/ (blog post with links to developer example video, whitepaper, etc)
