Is this the NATS you're referring to here? Forgive the noob question, I just haven't come across that acronym before (except in the Network Address Translation context.) https://nats.io/

Looks like a great side project, congrats on launching. My basic feedback is that you should set expectations on the project page by answering the following questions: - Why would someone use this instead of Airflow/Cadence/Tempor

Yeah, the parent project mentions that you can use pg_dump and pg_restore, but the examples don't seem to show that (or I'm misreading them.) My project uses template databases to do exactly what you said. Definitely fast and defi

Interesting idea to implement a proxy that does something on each new connection. I’ll have to think about that but very cool concept that lets this work for tests written in any language. Will each testcase need to run migrations after con

We usually wait to experiment with new features until we find a good problem that would fit, but we upgrade compiler version pretty much right after they release. For instance we waited on actually using generics for about 6 months until we

The addition of `sql.Null[T]` is great. I'll probably start using that in new projects. In current stuff, I'm relying on sqlboiler's null [0] whose API is very similar — it works the same way as `sql.Null` will, but has an ad

Shoutout for being the one company hiring in Philadelphia. Wish we had more of a tech scene. Role looks cool but not a good fit for me — good luck!

I had heat pumps added to my home this past summer, primarily to provide air conditioning. This article is a good overview of what I learned in the process. I'll add a few lessons: - Get a few quotes and iterate on the plan. Save the c

This is a wonderful elaboration of something that senior engineers do effortlessly and that junior engineers often struggle with. The writing is clear and the diagrams help make it even more so. I foresee that I will be sharing this in PR r

I’m happy to hear you’re gonna give it a try! No special tips beyond looking at the existing docs and migrators to see what they do. If you’re stuck please file an issue, I can help debug. I’d really like to know what works and what doesn’t
