For some interesting alternative for postgres as queue (actually more like kafka log), I like what pgque does https://github.com/NikolayS/pgque rather than using select for updates and other semantic, it uses snapshot and table truncate to reduce bloat. I havent used it for my dayjob but the different approach is refreshing to see and interesting for different system trade off.

Sounds cool, I want to try this kind of things out, but do you have or planned to have a sandboxing environment, where the agent can try running the query in let say duckdb first to confirm its validity/result before sending it over to bq? Or use something like tablesample when developing the query to reduce cost? One more thing, how do you compare with nao ( https://github.com/getnao/nao ), it's something I've followed for a while and seem to answer similar issue as what ktx build

Cool, I've tried localstack before and cant wait to give it a try

Anyway, do anyone know if there're similar stuff but for gcp? So far https://github.com/goccy/bigquery-emulator helped me a lot in emulating bigquery behaviour, but I cant find emulator for the whole gcp environment.

https://github.com/MedUnes/go-kata-solutions seems like they intended to create the solutions too, but seems like there's no progress yet

New comment by banditelol in "Go ahead, self-host Postgres"

banditelol — Sun, 21 Dec 2025 11:53:05 +0000

One of the things that made me think twice for self hosting postgres is securing the OS I host PG on. Any recommendation where to start for that?

I tried this before, but since I often need to open different browser even if a link came from the same app, I ended up moving to https://github.com/will-stone/browserosaurus

Not to say you cant use both tho

I've tried airbyte, sling, and dlt (besides building several tools from scratch)

My best bet for now will be dlt if you have dedicated DE team, but sling will get you a long way for moving data around your warehouse

Hi, I've been loking something like this! Any of your custumer has success story migrating off bigquery to your platform? And how do you compare to motherduck? (Looks like you built some of ypur stack on top of duckdb)

Anyone have tried comparing with Qwen VL based model? I heard good things about its performance on ocr compared to other self hostable model, but haven't really tried benchmarking its performance

banditelol — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 05:18:47 +0000

Looking at the syncer it seems like copying data to csv from the whole table everytime (?) Code: https://github.com/BemiHQ/BemiDB/blob/6d6689b392ce6192fe521a...

I cant imagine until at what scale can you do this and is there anything better we can do before using debezium to sync the data via cdc?

Edit: add code permalink

If we're talking about chrome extension, yes.

But firefox extension expose API to inspect the response stream.

Congrats on the launch!

I've been evaluating evidence and observable framework for a while, and this seems like a nice addition as alternative

But I just realized you require login when using vs code, what is it used for? And can I completely self host this?

Thans!
