Hey HN! I’m Dominic, an engineer at Retool, and I'm excited to be sharing this on HN.
I often need to spin up a quick Postgres DB or REST API to test features I’m working on. Seeding these with data can get tedious, especially if I have to duplicate resources across environments. I put together a few quick tools to make this easier, like Import CSV to PostgreSQL (https://retool.com/utilities/write-csv-to-postgres https://retool.com/utilities/write-csv-to-postgres) and Convert CSV to JSON (https://retool.com/utilities/convert-csv-to-json https://retool.com/utilities/convert-csv-to-json).
All the utilities are freely available at https://retool.com/utilities https://retool.com/utilities - here (https://retool.com/utilities/generate-app-from-csv https://retool.com/utilities/generate-app-from-csv) is one my favorites which lets you auto-generate a basic CRUD app from a CSV file.
Any feedback, requests for utilities or questions welcome! :)
