Show HN: Inquery (YC W23) – Real-time events for Postgres

#1

Post by mitchpatin »

Hi HN, we're excited to share our open source tool with the community!

Inquery is a utility for Postgres that triggers webhooks when rows are inserted, updated, or deleted. It uses database triggers that send low-latency websocket messages to a Go application. This application then calls any configured webhooks with a JSON payload that includes specified values from the database row.

Let us know if you have any feedback or questions!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Can you add it to Supabase please?

hopefully this isn't detracting too much from Inquery's product, which looks great, but I thought it's worth flagging - https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/webhooks

Yeah, we already use this feature in Supabase, works great!

Pretty cool! Any plans for a cloud version? If so, what would be the pricing model?

Thanks! We've discussed offering a cloud version at some point; however, we're initially focused on the self-hosted version.

Regarding the cloud option, we'd likely take a usage-based approach to pricing. Not sure if that would be based on number of events, actions, or some combination of the two. When we do offer this, we'll make sure that the free tier is generous and easy for small projects to use without worrying about paying.

Not at all detracting - we're big fans of Supabase! We're taking a bit of a different approach by trying to bring tools to existing databases (like those hosted in RDS) as opposed to the full platform approach.

We played around with Database Webhooks in Supabase and really liked the experience!

I completely agree with your approach - it's something missing in RDS.

Feel free to reach out if there's anything we can help with
