I think the CLI is useful for pushing. What do you use to push all the rebased child branches?

I am still curious why they stopped offering their original service. What was the feedback from users? Why did developers not want to use it?

Thanks, missed that part. I would still be interested in knowing how much additional storage that adds, if the OP is interested in updating the article.

I think a stored generated column allows you to create an index on it directly. Isn't it better approach?

I am working on something for that at https://automa.app. Let me know if you are interested in trying it out.

Actually,

1. `color` feature and thus the `anstream` dep is optional.

2. Even if you use it, it handles all the behaviour correctly regarding the piping and no color support, which is why it is a dependency in the first place.

This ulid Postgres extension doesn't have any performance issues compared to native uuidv7 in Postgres. https://github.com/pksunkara/pgx_ulid. Just wanted to bring it up since it looks like the author didn't come across it when looking for ulid generators in postgres.

Disclaimer: I built it.

Where can I learn more about this? You guys don't seem to have any docs available.

How do you guys differ against https://www.speakeasyapi.dev and https://www.buildwithfern.com and https://liblab.com?

New comment by pksunkara in "Unexpected downsides of UUID keys in PostgreSQL"

pksunkara — Fri, 23 Jun 2023 09:20:42 +0000

Implementing support for UUIDv7 does not equal implementing support for ULID. ULID needs to be treated as a first class citizen (type, read format, storage format, converters) instead of being an afterthought result from UUIDv7.

I have built a postgres extension for adding ULID support which does what I described. https://github.com/pksunkara/pgx_ulid

We reduced our service server costs to 1/6th by moving from Heroku to Lambda. And that's not even considering the main benefit of a big computational request not blocking other requests (which is why we moved to it in the first place).

I have written a webpack plugin which generates `.vue` files automatically and you just keep writing `js`, `css` and `html`.

What do you think about API Blueprint [1]? It is based on Markdown.

Can I suggest API Blueprint [1]? It is much more human friendly and easier to work on API design. Apiary has tools for complete API lifecycle management.

Disclaimer: I work on making API Blueprint better.
