poulpi··on Tell HN: DNS record "hn.algolia.com" was gone
Algolia is YC backed, and HN is run by YC.

Algolia ex-CEO is now a partner at YC.

So the connection between the two is pretty strong, this will be resolved before the end of the day.

poulpi··on How to check if two SQL tables are the same
If the issue happen a lot, there is also: https://github.com/datafold/data-diff

That is a nice tool to do it cross database as well.

I think it's based on checksum method.

poulpi··on Show HN: Accelerated Docker builds on your local machine with Depot (YC W23)
Nice!

Our docker builds are getting slow despite using kaniko, does depot has a better caching than kaniko?

How so?

poulpi··on Show HN: Complete catalog of data connectors and ETL providers
hey,

I'm one the builder of this catalog!

What is exciting is that the database behind it is open source: https://github.com/whalyapp/connector-catalog-data

This way, we can ensure that the catalog stay fresh as the work to maintain it is on the vendors side that have an incentive to push updates of their catalog.

It also ensure complete transparency of how the catalog is being built.

The tech behind it is a Next.js app that is statically generating the website from the catalog data to ensure a good SEO capacity.

The end goal is to offer a central place where the community (vendors + users) can exchange the current capabilities of the connector market.

Next steps are: - Add the capability for customers to provide comments / feedbacks on connectors that they tried / used - Add more info on the Vendors pages (which destinations they support to write data, pricing info)

Tell us what you think!

Actually, if you want something to stay, you should go for stone rather than metal.

Stone have low market value while metal can always be melted to do something else (like weapons).

It's one of my main take away of my art history lessons -> most antic art done on metal has been lost, but the stone remains!

poulpi··on Launch HN: Windmill (YC S22) – Turn scripts into internal apps and workflows
Very cool!

I've seen too many companies with spaghetti integration built on Zapier / Make to orchestrate the user onboarding (CRM, database, Finance tool)

At the beginning it's a good idea and at one point everything start to crash and you wonder how to put everything in a got repository!

Windmill seems really cool

poulpi··on Serverless Performance: Cloudflare Workers, Lambda and LambdaEdge
Have you think about including Golang based Lambda function in your benchmark?

As you're guessing that Cloudfare superior JS runtime plays a big role, it could be interesting to see if it can compete against Golang Lambda as well.
