dboekeon I Built a Postgres FDW to Query Hacker News Using SQL

Greetings HN! Had some fun hacking together a Steampipe Plugin (https://steampipe.io) in Go to query the HN api with SQL. Let me know if you have any questions on usage.

dboekeon Show HN: Steampipe – select * from cloud;

Hello HN! Steampipe is an open-source tool for querying cloud metadata with SQL. We currently have 230+ tables across 13 plugins (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, Zendesk, Slack & more) see the plugin registry for a full list: https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins.

Why we think it's cool:

  * Open source & extensible with plugins
  * Fast live queries & caching (no ETL to a DB)
  * Embedded Postgres with a Golang based FDW
  * Easy to use (well, you be the judge!)

We can't wait to see what queries you come up with, and would really appreciate your feedback!

dboekeon Om Malik: Death of a Retailer (Fry's)

I moved out of California in 1998 and thankfully didn't have to see the demise of one of my favorite things. I have so many happy memories of shopping at Fry's, it was an experience and a destination (what other retailers have that going for them??)
