#42very cool. though the deploy wasnt clear if i can just run migration on some pg url. and it wasnt clear if i can bind some middleware into my existing app server (like express)

#43Fake reviews are a hard no-no imo. Really weird addition, but I suppose it wasn't you who got the idea. Looks an awful lot like a orpc, just built on top of drizzle instead of raw queries. I'm sure some people want this, but it seems like gross duct tape that will bite you in three years

Typebase is built on top of oRPC, the idea with Typebase is that you can build everything on super simple way and Typebase will take care of the rest.

#44I was about the ask a question but you just answered how it is built. I guess I will try it out, it sounds really good. I love your approach, fake testemonials and all.

#45Sounds very interesting. I have to agree I didn't like RLS as well. I mean, it's useful but it seems too many knobs to turn...

#46To be honest, the use of AI in your marketing doesn't bother me. But paired with the fact that you have a newish HN account with no comments ever, and no comments on your own "Show HN" in response to others, doesn't put off strong trust signals.

#47The pronunciation of "Vercel" near the end of the "Typebase in 100s" video was VER -cel, with the emphasis on the first syllable, instead of ver- CEL with the emphasis on the second syllable. Was the video generated by AI?

#48I love the (well-disclosed) fake testimonials. Hilarious!

#49I have deployed and maintained plenty of diff setups on GCP, AWS, colo, and I have also used AI for coding, my concern is do we really trust AI to do prod deploy and maintenance of the backend yet? Not to mention what are the limitations here, someone already mentioned queues? But for a straightforward site with limited complexities, it might be cool to try out.

#50Very cool! Note that you can run Convex on top of your own Postgres, and we do this for our internal apps, with very nice performance (plenty for our internal use cases).
