PgDog (YC P25), a startup building a scaling engine for PostgreSQL, is hiring a founding software engineer. The company is in production, used by dozens of companies, and seeks a Rust expert to work o…
A developer realized they could review code but not write it from scratch after relying heavily on AI for coding since mid-2024. The engineer froze when trying to write an HTTP handler in Go from memo…
A developer built myRAG, a fully self-hosted RAG stack combining FastAPI, React, Qdrant, PostgreSQL, and Neo4j. The system uses hybrid search with dense and sparse embeddings, cross-encoder reranking,…
A developer explains how to build real AI applications by connecting large language models to external tools via function calling, memory, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The LLM acts as a decis…
A developer built a credit management system for an AI Prompt Optimizer, implementing plan-based credit allocation, automatic daily resets, and PostgreSQL-based credit deduction. The system integrates…
Pgrust, a Rust-based rewrite of PostgreSQL, now passes 100% of the Postgres regression and isolation tests, achieving disk compatibility with Postgres 18.3. The project aims to make Postgres easier to…
A developer built a production AI scoring pipeline that processes over 10,000 job listings daily using GPT-4. The system uses function calling to enforce structured output, a pre-filtering stage to el…
A developer outlines three strategic steps for building a custom AI-powered productivity suite: establishing a robust data layer, implementing multi-model AI strategies, and automating operational int…
MCP Gateway launches a platform that converts existing APIs and databases into MCP servers, allowing developers to import OpenAPI specs or connect PostgreSQL and SQL Server scopes, generate MCP tools,…
A developer argues that schema-aware query generation outperforms generic AI templates for production databases, as it integrates the database's specific structure to produce correct queries. The appr…
Datadog engineer Arnold Wakim used Anthropic's Claude and Cursor to migrate a critical production system, Stream Router, from a key-value store to PostgreSQL, reducing operation times from 45 minutes …
Two developers, Michael Malis and Jason Seibel, used 17 AI coding agents to rewrite PostgreSQL in Rust, achieving 100% compatibility with all 46,066 regression tests of Postgres 18.3. The project, pgr…
Generative AI is making legacy software rewrites economically viable by drastically reducing code generation costs, flipping the traditional cost-benefit analysis. AWS used AI to modernize 40 million …
Researchers introduced Jailbreak, a system that uses large language models to regenerate database storage readers, bypassing traditional database drivers like JDBC and ODBC to read storage files direc…
A developer building MCP Guard identified five common AI agent mistakes that can destroy production databases, based on conversations with 50+ developers. The mistakes include giving destructive acces…
A developer building an AI routing platform chose Neon as their database partner, citing its branching feature, serverless driver for edge functions, auto-scaling storage, and connection pooling as id…
N3MO, a deterministic code intelligence tool that parses source code ASTs into a queryable knowledge graph without embeddings or LLM calls, launched on Hacker News. It enables transitive dependency ma…
A developer explores pgrust, a project that rewrites PostgreSQL in Rust and now passes 100% of the original regression tests. The project promises enhanced safety and performance for database infrastr…
A Rust rewrite of PostgreSQL called pgrust now passes 100% of PostgreSQL 18.3's regression tests, matching expected output across more than 46,000 queries. The project aims to make PostgreSQL easier t…
A developer explains that vector databases are essential for AI-powered search and RAG features, but most projects should start with pgvector in PostgreSQL rather than specialized vector stores. The p…
