New comment by conroy in "SQLx – Rust SQL Toolkit"

Maintainer of sqlc here. Thanks for the kind words! I'm considering switching to the sqlx model of talking to a running database simply because trying to re-implement PostgreSQL internals has been a huge challenge. It works for most queries, but for the long tail of features, it's a losing battle.

Can you tell me why it's a non-starter for you?

you'd be surprised, but there's actually a bunch of problems you can solve with something like this, as long as you have a safe place to run the generated code

Riza | San Francisco | Full-Time | System, Backend, and Full-Stack Engineers | https://riza.io

We provide isolated runtimes for executing untrusted code, mostly generated by LLMs. Our sandboxing is powered by a combination of WebAssembly, V8, and microVMs. Our customers do things like extract data from log lines at run time by asking claude-3-7-sonnet to generate a parsing function on-the-fly and then sending it to us for execution.

Things we need help with:

- Our API (https://docs.riza.io/) (Postgres / Go)

- Our account dashboard (Postgres / Go / React / TypeScript)

- Our code execution engine (Go / Rust)

- New products including code generation workflows (Anthropic / OpenAI experience a plus)

We’ve raised seed money, but the whole company is currently just me, Andrew and David working out of a converted warehouse on Alabama St. We’re second-time founders, so we know the risk we’re asking you to take and we’re prepared to compensate accordingly.

New comment by conroy in "Claude Integrations"

conroy — Thu, 01 May 2025 19:32:03 +0000

Remote MCP servers are still in a strange space. Anthropic updated the MCP spec about a month ago with a new Streamable HTTP transport, but it doesn't appear that Claude supports that transport yet.

When I hooked up our remote MCP server, Claude sends a GET request to the endpoint. According to the spec, clients that want to support both transports should first attempt to POST an InitializeRequest to the server URL. If that returns a 4xx, it should then assume the SSE integration.

Did a crazy thing and adopted Bazel for our two person company. Took a while to get everything working, but the average build takes about 30 seconds to run, across Go / Rust / TypeScript.

New comment by conroy in "Spin 3.0 – open-source tooling for building and running WASM apps"

conroy — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 01:38:24 +0000

This is just a limitation of the wasmtime CLI. The full Rust API let's you mount filesystems as read-only. Not sure why it's not exposed as an argument.

wasmtime works as long as you make sure to include the lib directory

    % wasmtime run --dir .::/ python.wasm -c 'print("hello world")'
    hello world

disclaimer: I run a code execution API service (https://riza.io/playground) that does this and more (HTTP, packages, etc.)
