Our database is heroku postgresql database. What's the best way to get this working with DuckDB? I see there's a postgresql connector but I'm not totally following how to deploy it. Would I just spin up a dyno with the docker image / custom build pack and connect it to the DB?

I signed up for the waitlist! I noticed it asked about AWS, Azure, and GCP but we use Heroku. Hopefully, that won't put me too low on the list.

Do you have a sense for when people can try it? Most of our app is reads and we're using Rails + Redis and it's fine and sometimes a pain. Would love to try it.

The innovation in managed devops is pretty incredible! Had a question for the Supabase team regarding authorization and PostgREST.

Let's say I have Customer 1 who owns Document 2, 3. Document will have a foreign key pointing to Customer. How do I ensure that Customer 1 can't access Document 1?

Fly is putting together a pretty great team and interesting tech stack. It's the service I see as a true disruptor to Heroku because it's doing something novel (not just cheaper).

I'm still a little murky on the tradeoffs with Fly (and litestream). @ben / @fly, you should write a tutorial on hosting a todo app using rails with litestream and any expected hurdles at different levels of scale (maybe comparing to Heroku).

Canopy Analytics | Oakland, CA (SF Bay Area) | Full-time | 3x Onsite, 2x WFH | Founding Engineer, Ruby on Rails | $120k-$150k, .25-1% range

Full JD: https://www.notion.so/canopyanalytics/Founding-Engineer-Ruby...

Canopy Analytics is a small but mighty team. With just three founders, we bootstrapped an enterprise SaaS platform, grew +500% in the last year, raised a strong round from top-tier investors, and our customers depend on our software everyday. The key to our success has been a strong team obsessed with customer experience and great product engineering.

We're looking to grow that team with a founding engineer and our first senior hire. As part of the early team, you will be a strong individual contributor and a leader for the business. You will delivering high-quality code quickly, and also be responsible for our architecture, roadmap, hiring and engineering culture.

Very cool. I'll definitely give it a test spin. I've been a big fan of PaaS but Render / App Engine / Beanstalk fall a bit short on dev ux. This looks the most promising. If you can add multiple regions and wildcard ssl, you'll solve 2 big problems we have with Heroku.

I use Superhuman. I can see myself switching over to Mimestream. One of my recent complaints is the lack of deep integration with GSuite. If you can match the speed & shortcuts AND integrate deeply with GSuite, I think you have something really compelling.

The app is a traditional email client that makes direct connections to Gmail and stores your data on your Mac. There are no intermediary servers with access to your account or copies of your messages. Mimestream is free for a limited time during the public beta, but will eventually be a paid app by the time it gets to the Mac App Store.

I appreciate the thought behind this. However, it means you can't implement some other features (pixel tracking, scheduled send, snooze) unless GSuite opens up an API for them. Consider having a subscription which uses a 3rd party server. I would be happy to pay for it.

I've been working on my deck for the last few months. What's. most useful would be funding round / year. Also, your search is broken so I can't tell you if you're missing any decks.

In full support of the boring club! See my other comment but essentially, I find ActiveRecord hasn't worked great for our use case because we don't really work with individual records.

I would like to have more flexibility in the client specifying what attributes and relations it wants.

Thanks for the tip. I don't need an API server (yet). Our app is driven by a lot of SQL. We end up with a lot of functions which are business_logic, business_logic_with_joins, business_logic_with_different_joins. I'm most interested in avoiding N+1 queries and letting the page ask for the attributes / relations it needs. GraphQL seemed like reasonable solution for that.

I'm a GraphQL n00b. My app is a pretty vanilla monolith server rendered Ruby on Rails / Postgres (no SPA).

1.) Would I use async-graphql on top of postgres and communicate via a ruby graph ql client?

2.) Is it a bad idea for me to use a rust backend on top of postgres instead of Ruby? Is there something more common then async-graphql?

3.) How is GraphQL for aggregate queries (count, avg, etc)?

I’m extremely impressed with how slick your Heroku integration is. We thought about moving over to render but the dev ux just isn’t there like Heroku. I would be fine with paying for a read replica on the west coast that was always running if you can make it as easy the rest of your Heroku integration.

I’ve seen this variations of this article posted on twitter. While I think there’s lessons to learn, I think there’s more to be unpacked here. For example, what clothes was she selling? For how much? I’ve read she did very little advertising (only one or two posts) but to be honest, her IG is pretty bare. I’m surprised she has 2m followers at all.

I'm so excited about the App Engine updates. I'll be signing up for the Ruby 2.5 run time to replace Heroku in our stack.

Today, we are announcing support for new second generation runtimes: Node.js 10, Go 1.11, and PHP 7.2 in general availability and Ruby 2.5 and Java 11 in alpha. These runtimes provide an idiomatic developer experience, faster deployments, remove previous API restrictions and come with support for native modules. The above-mentioned Serverless VPC access also lets you connect to your existing GCP resources from your App Engine apps in a more secure manner without exposing them to the internet.
