Show HN: Xata, serverless database on top of PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch Hi! Xata was on HackerNews once before ( https://bit.ly/3zBHtBO ) a bit over a year ago, when we were at the beginning of our development. We've promised we're going to do a Show HN page when we come out of Private Beta, and this just happened today. Xata is a product in the serverless database space. We know that the space is fairly crowded now, with lots of great companies started recently. We're happy to see a fresh wave of database products, that are focused more on the developer experience, rather than a race to the bottom on performance and cost. We are part of this wave, but we also think our offering is quite differentiated: - First, out of all the options out there, we're aiming to be the easiest to get started with and the easiest to use. We are cloud-only and our product feels more like a SaaS-like experience than an IaaS experience. If you've hacked together an app with data stored in Airtable or GitHub, you should try Xata next time. It's just as easy to use but has constraints, data integrity, type-safe clients, etc. - We offer functionality from multiple data stores. Today, the source of truth for the data is in PostgreSQL and we also replicate it in Elasticsearch. This means that we can offer free-text-search and aggregation functionality that goes beyond what's possible in PostgreSQL. In the future, we'll add more functionality around in-memory caching, queues, etc, so all data patterns that you need are available via a single, serverless, consistent API. This sounds complex (and it is), but the complexity is entirely on our side. Your application can just reap the benefits. - It is vertically integrated and focused on developer workflows: we provide a nice web UI, a TypeScript/JavaScript SDK, and VS Code extension, all working together with minimal friction. The TypeScript SDK is somewhat similar with Prisma, because it gives you type safety for both the parameters and the return types. However, it is different because it is a pure-TypeScript implementation, which means it is more lightweight and can run in Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, etc. Some more links, if you want to dig into the details: - For examples of the API, see our API Guide: https://bit.ly/3NqPEq6 - For technical details about the inner workings of Xata, see our fairly long How it Works guide: https://bit.ly/3WqwxR6 - We think this approach is new and gave it a name: Serverless Data Platform, which is explained here: https://bit.ly/3DSqzBv - For a high-level overview of the features available, see: https://bit.ly/3WAkAJ1 We would really love your feedback! https://bit.ly/3NtlAKH November 2, 2022 at 08:43AM

Show HN: Minimax – A Compressed-First, Microcoded RISC-V CPU https://bit.ly/3DOcFAa

Show HN: Minimax – A Compressed-First, Microcoded RISC-V CPU RISC-V's compressed instruction (RVC) extension is intended as an add-on to the regular, 32-bit instruction set, not a replacement or competitor. Its designers intended RVC instructions to be expanded into regular 32-bit RV32I equivalents via a pre-decoder. What happens if we explicitly architect a RISC-V CPU to execute RVC instructions, and "mop up" any RV32I instructions that aren't convenient via a microcode layer? What architectural optimizations are unlocked as a result? "Minimax" is an experimental RISC-V implementation intended to establish if an RVC-optimized CPU is, in practice, any simpler than an ordinary RV32I core with pre-decoder. While it passes a modest test suite, you should not use it without caution. (There are a large number of excellent, open source, "little" RISC-V implementations you should probably use reach for first.) https://bit.ly/3h2eDE2 November 1, 2022 at 04:41PM

Show HN: Subify subscription – Process of research and developing a new product https://bit.ly/3Dp4pFr

Show HN: Subify subscription – Process of research and developing a new product Hi everyone. This is Reza, Growth manager at Subify, About two years ago, we released our first app on Shopify. An app called “Hengam Restock" helped merchants inform their customers that their products are back in stock. In 2 years, more than 200,000 products were back-in-stock through our app, and customers were notified. This method worked for the stores and increased their sales by more than 15%, but we were looking for a way that could help them sell better and solve their other problems, like inventory management. We searched for a few weeks and found a good solution. Subscription . If the stores could sell their products on a subscription basis, there would be no need to guess how many products to keep in the warehouse. Before that, this number could be much less than the required amount or more than the required amount. Each of these has its problems. With this method, they know with a good approximation how many people will buy a product next month, and they supply the same amount of stock. On the other hand, they can even guess how much income they will have next month and spend accordingly. At that time, there were several apps for this work in Shopify, but these apps had several fundamental problems. 1. Working with these apps was not easy; sometimes, merchants needed to hire a third party to help them use these apps. 2. They were costly and intended only for large stores, while This problem was also the problem of small and medium stores and they needed this product too. 3. A store's needs in the subscription can be very diverse. Some want to create a subscription box, some need a landing page for subscription products, some want a membership and loyal customer club, etc. These apps did not have strong support, subscription knowledge, and customer success manager to help the merchant in these ways. At best, there was simple support that only dealt with fundamental problems. All of this made us think of creating our subscription app; thus, the "Subify subscription" was born. The app is simple, and everyone can easily use it; it has a reasonable price, and merchants can start working without paying any initial amount. In addition to this, Subify subscription support surprisingly responds to your messages in less than 1 minute, and experienced customer success managers are by your side to make sure you succeed :) Now Subify subscription has experienced tremendous growth in a short time, reached the rank of 300 out of 7000 apps, and serves many customers, including Shopify Pluses. Let us know what you think of our app and how we can make it a better resource by taking a look at it. https://bit.ly/3ST5nQ6 October 31, 2022 at 05:46PM

Show HN: Virtual JSON Viewer – Virtual DOM, Full Text Search and JQ https://bit.ly/3sKfADE

Show HN: Virtual JSON Viewer – Virtual DOM, Full Text Search and JQ I built a custom tailored browser extension for rendering and navigating Json responses and files, hopefully it could be useful also to someone else. Why? I often need to debug fairly large json files (10MB+). For a time I used a combination of JQ in the terminal for filtering and Firefox native viewer for full text search. Then I had an epiphany "Wait a sec, I am a developer! How hard could it be to combine those features in a single product?". Harder than I expected (of course), but still, here we are. Disclaimer: I'm a backend developer by day, no designers were harmed in the making of the UI/UX :) https://bit.ly/3sHllC3 October 30, 2022 at 03:46PM
