tobilg··on AWS Acquires DuckLabs
You can even use DuckLake with Datafusion: https://github.com/tobilg/datafusion-ducklake-provider
tobilg··on DuckDB Internals: Why Is DuckDB Fast? (Part 1)
I can't confirm this, I have several instances which have statically linked extensions...
tobilg··on Healthchecks.io now uses self-hosted object storage
yeah, sure, those 5-10 different API calls would surely be a huge toll to refactor... I'd rather run an additional service to reimplement the S3 API mapping to my local drive /s
tobilg··on Healthchecks.io now uses self-hosted object storage
I'm 100% aware of how S3 works. I was questioning why the S3 API is needed when the service is using local storage.
tobilg··on Healthchecks.io now uses self-hosted object storage
I don't get it, if it's running on the same (mentioning "local") machine, why does it even need the S3 API? Could just be plain IO on the local drive(s)
tobilg··on Why DuckDB is my first choice for data processing
Built with DuckDB-Wasm: SQL Terminal in the browser

https://terminal.sql-workbench.com

tobilg··on Show HN: SQLite Online – 11 years of solo development, 11K daily users
Impressive, congrats! I‘m building https://sql-workbench.com which is similar, but focussed on DuckDB WASM instead of SQLite… Love that you offer different databases.
tobilg··on Welcome to the age of $10/month Lakehouses
Literally the first dozen search results if you google for "lakehouse" are about data lakehouses: https://www.google.com/search?q=lakehouse

This is a well-known term for everyone working with larger datasets...

tobilg··on Show HN: TextQuery – Query CSV, JSON, XLSX Files with SQL
Try https://sql-workbench.com if you‘d like to do this directly in the browser, for free. Including Parquet and Arrow support as well.
tobilg··on My Browser WASM't Prepared for This. Using DuckDB, Apache Arrow and Web Workers
IMO that’s not really possible because of the size limits of Cloudflare Workers. Neither the WASM nor the Node version are small enough.

I‘m running it on AWS Lambda functions with some success.

tobilg··on My Browser WASM't Prepared for This. Using DuckDB, Apache Arrow and Web Workers
Not sure why the comparisons were made with pretty outdated versions to be honest.

I‘m using a (older) v1.29.1 dev version with https://sql-workbench.com w/o any bigger issues.

tobilg··on The DuckDB Local UI
But they got a custom CLI argument in the OSS product for it. And hosting/proxying it under the OSS domain ui.duckdb.org
tobilg··on The DuckDB Local UI
Actually, the UI was built by MotherDuck…
tobilg··on The DuckDB Local UI
Have a look at https://sql-workbench.com eventually. It runs DuckDB WASM in the browser, and with Perspective, which is used for data visualization, you can also visualize timeseries.

You can either drag & drop data, or use remote data sources via https

tobilg··on The DuckDB Local UI
Hahaha, nice. It's a small world.
tobilg··on The DuckDB Local UI
You can potentially use Ollama running a model locally, e.g. https://ollama.com/library/duckdb-nsql
tobilg··on The DuckDB Local UI
Have a look at https://sql-workbench.com eventually, as it's using DuckDB WASM & Perspective to render the query results. Let me know what you think!
tobilg··on I wrote a static web page and accidentally started a community (2023)
I created https://sql-workbench.com a while ago, mainly to let people analyze data that's available via http sources, or on their local machines, w/o having to install anything.

A recent project is https://shrink.video, which is using the WASM version of ffmpeg to shrink or convert video in the user's browser itself, for privacy and similar reasons mentioned before.

tobilg··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
Sorry, but I don’t understand what you‘re trying to say…
tobilg··on Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)?
I‘m building https://sql-workbench.com in my spare time.

It‘s a SQL Workbench in the browser, based on DuckDB WASM. You can query remote and local datasources, such as CSV, JSON or Parquet files.

You can also visualize the results, and share the queries via URL. Let me know what you think!

tobilg··on Show HN: OpenFreeMap – Open-Source Map Hosting
That's a complete other topic. DBOS also doesn't fit in this stack. And what has SAML to do with it?
tobilg··on Show HN: OpenFreeMap – Open-Source Map Hosting
I created a similar project, https://serverlessmaps.com which lets you host PMTiles on S3 and CloudFront, with a Lambda@Edge layer where you could also do auth...

With 1TB free traffic from the CDN, and pretty small costs for S3 and Lambda@Edge, it's probably even cheaper to self-host I guess. Even lower costs would be possible by entirely using CloudFlare services (CDN, R2)...

tobilg··on Show HN: OpenFreeMap – Open-Source Map Hosting
If you store the PMTiles in S3 or any other object store that supports HTTP Range Requests, that's a no-brainer... In a normal disk on you own server, this might become interesting, yes.
tobilg··on Awsviz.dev simplifying AWS IAM policies
Thanks for the feedback, are you using dark mode eventually?
tobilg··on Awsviz.dev simplifying AWS IAM policies
Exactly, it's "just" extracting the AWS IAM data from the publicly available documentation, stores it in multiple formats and publishes a NPM package containing the data with some wrappers/accessors, so that people can theoretically leverage it to build their own tools.
tobilg··on Awsviz.dev simplifying AWS IAM policies
I publish a daily updated AWS IAM dataset at https://github.com/tobilg/aws-iam-data as well as historized managed IAM policies at https://github.com/tobilg/aws-iam-managed-policies

There's also https://www.awsiamdata.com/ which analyzes the AWS IAM data and also contains a changelog. Maybe this helps some people.

You can also query the data from your browser: https://tobilg.com/chat-with-a-duck#heading-explore-aws-iam-...

tobilg··on Show HN: SQL Explorer – Open-source reporting tool that Just Works
No, it's implemented via parsing the current schema and translating it to a Mermaid ERD, see https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/entityRelationshipDiagram.html
tobilg··on Show HN: SQL Explorer – Open-source reporting tool that Just Works
Currently it‘s not open sourced. Eventually considering it for the future though.
tobilg··on Show HN: SQL Explorer – Open-source reporting tool that Just Works
Yes, you can share a query, and also the visualization.

See https://tobilg.com/using-duckdb-wasm-for-in-browser-data-eng...

tobilg··on Show HN: SQL Explorer – Open-source reporting tool that Just Works
There‘s a query history tab, not sure if this what you want?

Otherwise, I‘m very open to feedback, just create an issue in the linked GH Repo. Thanks!
