Show HN: Plato – Airtable for your SQL database Hi! I've been a member of HN for fifteen years so today I'm very excited to share Plato. Plato is an Airtable-like interface for your Postgres or MySQL database. It's an admin panel for devs and non-devs alike to manage your DB. We see teams use Plato for customer support, customer success, ops, etc.. We built Plato because we think more people should be able to build and extend internal tools. We thought it was strange that even though low-code is supposed to democratize development, all of the low-code internal tool builders are marketed to engineers! Airtable is a familiar UI that fits the relational model well, so we've been inspired by their work. Even the engineers on our team use Plato quite a bit, since it's often easier than spinning up a SQL prompt. Some features: - Postgres and MySQL support - Visual query controls (sorts, filters, hiding columns). No SQL. - Joins by "expanding" foreign keys - Virtual columns for tracking new data - Auto-generated backlinks for one-to-many relationships - Read-only locking for individual tables - Virtual tables for sharing new views with your team Plato today works on databases with a public IP (just whitelist our IP to connect), but we're soon rolling out an on-prem version. We can also set up an SSH tunnel for you if you contact us at team@plato.io. We'd love to hear your feedback! Thanks. - Michael https://ift.tt/wh2FgWn March 8, 2023 at 09:50PM
Show HN: Launch VM workloads securely and instantaneously, without VMs Hello HN! We've been working on a new hypervisor https://kwarantine.xyz that can run strongly isolated containers. This is still a WIP, but we wanted to give the community an idea about our approach, its benefits, and various use cases it unlocks. Today, VMs are used to host containers, and make up for the lack of strong security as well as kernel isolation in containers. This work adds this missing security piece in containers. We plan on launching a free private beta soon. Meanwhile, we'd deeply appreciate any feedback, and happy to answer any questions here or on our slack channel. Thanks! April 29, 2021 at 07:50AM
