   Great for accessing huge datasets

   I use Acho for storing and editing my data files. It's amazingly fast, and intuitive to use. The dashboard is still in beta but works pretty well with the data sync feature.

   👍 Pros:    Great customer support|Great user experience|Great set of functions

   👎 Cons:    Few features are in beta

• New Grad Tasked with Building a Data Pipeline

  The company I work at called Acho built a solution that combines ETL + DW + DMBS. If your data needs to be consumed by end production beyond SQL queries (BI, spreadsheets, reports, distribution...), it could be pretty powerful. It all depends on the production goal. If you simply want data on cloud, you probably wouldn't even need replication. Source: over 2 years ago

• What tool do you recommend for basic reporting (not visualization) from a cloud based DW? (Snowflake)

  I'd probably consider an online DB GUI like Acho for this. Not sure if they connect with Azure Blob directly. Then your stack can be BLOB landing --> Matillion 'ELT' --> Snowflake tables ---> versioned table for each team member on Acho ---> Extracts by end users (no SQL needed). Source: over 2 years ago

• The End of Airplane.dev

  I am building https://github.com/claceio/clace and https://retool.com/, allow automation of operational tasks through a web interface while also allowing fully custom web apps. Clace also works great for running simple web apps locally. Building and deploying a web app should be as easy and common for backend engineers as creating a CLI app is. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• FastUI: Build Better UIs Faster

  This seems to mainly be useful for spinning up quick and dirty internal tools. But for that use-case, isn't it easier to use something visual and established like Retool (https://retool.com/) or that generates nice react code, like MUI Toolpad (https://mui.com/toolpad/)? - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Internal tools often make bad startup ideas

  There are obvious counterexamples, like https://retool.com, which is a successful company with solid revenue and multi-B valuation. > software engineers — who are often influencers in a purchase decision — are strongly incentivized to build instead of buy Regardless of what software engineers would rather do, pressure from real users trumps pressure from internal users. This especially true in startups, whose... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• YC: Requests for Startups

  I submitted an application for w24 that fits in the "Developer tools inspired by existing internal tools" category but wasn't accepted. I suspect my pitch probably needed work, and I also haven't started building at all yet and submitted as a solo-founder which it seems has less chance of being accepted. Here's the pitch and some details, in case anyone else is interested in the idea: > Supportal uses AI to... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev

  ReTool — Low-code platform for building internal applications. Retool is highly hackable. If you can write it with JavaScript and an API, you can make it in Retool. The free tier allows up to five users per month, unlimited apps and API connections. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
