• Redis

  These facts only hold when the size of your payload and the number of connections remain relatively small. This easily jumps out the window with ever-increasing load parameters. The threshold is, unfortunately, rather low at a high number of connections and increased payload sizes. Modern large-scale micro-services will easily have over 100 running instances at medium scale. And since most instances employ some... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Introducing LMS Moodle Operator

  The LMS Moodle Operator serves as a meta-operator, orchestrating the deployment and management of Moodle instances in Kubernetes. It handles the entire stack required to run Moodle, including components like Postgres, Keydb, NFS-Ganesha, and Moodle itself. Each of these components has its own Kubernetes Operator, ensuring seamless integration and management. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• Dragonfly Is Production Ready (and we raised $21M)

  Congrats on the funding and getting production ready, it's good that KeyDB (and Redis) get some competition. https://docs.keydb.dev/ Open question, how does Dragonfly differ from KeyDB? - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• I deleted 78% of my Redis container and it still works

  See: Distroless images[0] This is one of the huge benefits of recent systems languages like go and rust -- they compile to single binaries so you can use things like scatch[1] containers. You may have to fiddle with gnu libc/musl libc (usually when getaddrinfo is involved/dns etc), but once you're done with it, packaging is so easy. Even languages like Node (IMO the most progressive of the scripting languages)... - Source: Hacker News / about 4 years ago

• Dragonflydb – A modern replacement for Redis and Memcached

  Interesting project. Very similar to KeyDB [1] which also developed a multi-threaded scale-up approach to Redis. It's since been acquired by Snapchat. There's also Aerospike [2] which has developed a lot around low-latency performance. 1. https://docs.keydb.dev/ 2. https://aerospike.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 4 years ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (August 2026)

  I'm working on DB Pro [1] A modern database client with dashboards, saved queries, workflows, and yes, AI built into it. I've focused on building brilliant UX over the last year, and it has paid off. I've had two emails saying that they have cancelled their Jetbrains subscription for DataGrip which has been so validating. It's been a labour of love and I'm super happy to have disrupted even a small part of the... - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Shadcn/UI now defaults to Base UI instead of Radix

  Great news. I've found that no UI library comes close to shadcn's quality. It even looks incredible when building desktop apps. We used it to build DB Pro [1] and the DB Pro website, and everyone compliments us on our design. I see it becoming the defacto choice for UIs especially when building with agents.

• Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)

  Building DB Pro [1] A complete desktop app for browsing and editing your Postgres, MySQL, SQLite data, creating beautiful dashboards, and soon designing automated workflows for repeat tasks. [1] https://dbpro.app I've kept a devlog of the last 10 months of building DB Pro, which has been the best way to bring users to the product. I'd highly recommend folks starting a devlog if they can. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI

  Been building DB Pro (dbpro.app) since January: a cross-platform DB client for Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, Mongo and Redis. https://dbpro.app The thing that's stuck with me, echoing a few comments here, is how AI changed the building more than the product. Features I'd have scoped as weeks of work now get prototyped in an afternoon, so the real shift has been unlearning the old "is this worth the cost" instinct. A... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• No More JetBrains Products for Me

  We're building a product [1] to compete with DataGrip, a JetBrains product. Many people told us we were crazy to compete with such a mature product as DataGrip before we got started. It has been fascinating to speak to people who use database apps and to learn about their experiences. Now, we have many, many customers telling us that they have cancelled their DataGrip/JetBrains sub and have switched to using our... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
