The score comes from our model.

• Show HN: Schema – Visual Git Diffs for Postgres, MySQL and SQLite Schemas · score 8.5

  Schema is a Rust/WASM tool that parses Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, and Rails schema files to generate interactive ER diagrams and visual git diffs. It offers a CLI that launches a browser-based viewer with numerous layout options, diff highlighting, and export capabilities, plus an agent-friendly design mode. The project is notable for its comprehensive dialect support, git integration, and polished UX.

• Show HN: OLake – Open-Source Postgres/MySQL/MongoDB CDC to Apache Iceberg · score 7.5

  OLake Go is a high-performance data ingestion engine that replicates databases (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Oracle, DB2, MSSQL), Kafka, and S3 into Apache Iceberg or Parquet without requiring Spark, Flink, or Debezium. It claims impressive benchmarks (e.g., 580K RPS for Postgres full load) and provides a UI and CLI for managing sync jobs, making it a promising alternative to commercial tools like Fivetran.

• Show HN: TypeSQL – Postgres SQL parsed in TypeScript's type system, no codegen · score 7.5

  TypeSQL is a TypeScript library that parses SQL string literals entirely within TypeScript's type system, providing compile-time type inference, parameter validation, and schema checking without code generation or a database connection. It leverages advanced type-level programming to achieve this, integrating with popular drivers and ORMs like pg, postgres, Kysely, Drizzle, and Prisma, making SQL queries type-safe and ergonomic.

• Show HN: RDST – A local agent that watches Postgres/MySQL for query regressions · score 7.3

  RDST is an always-on local agent that monitors PostgreSQL and MySQL query statistics to detect slow queries and regressions, then uses EXPLAIN plans and schema analysis to recommend concrete fixes like indexes, setting changes, or rewrites. It combines a Python CLI, web UI, and Electron desktop app, and runs read-only with local data storage, making it a practical tool for database performance tuning.
