Show HN: SQL Simulator – Create Subsetted Databases in Docker or K8s

Hi, I'm Weston Goodwin. I originally posted about my project on HN back in June 2023 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36187556) and wanted to share some of the updates I’ve made since then. As a referesher SQL Simulator is a tool that simulates SQL script execution by creating a subsetted database. Below is a list of changes I've made:

1.)It now supports both Docker and Kubernetes. 2.)The database container automatically self-destructs after 15 minutes of inactivity to improve security. 3.)A Data Governor limits the amount of sensitive data that can be retrieved in a day. 4.)The K8s version can be used as a database proxy. Simply remove direct access to the database and force users to go through the K8s cluster/Data governor to view any data.

The tool is available without requiring signup or credit card. I’d appreciate any feedback or suggestions. Thanks for this post reading.

Show HN: Tinykv – minimal file-backed key-value store for Rust

I built tinykv because I kept reaching for simple persistent storage in Rust projects but found existing solutions either too complex (sled) or unmaintained (pickledb).

tinykv focuses on simplic
