Reviews of the most interesting devtools and latest beta releases.
Here's the latest newsletter sent on 2026-02-12.
Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.
Redis with SQL.
Redis core reimplemented in Go with SQLite or Postgres as the backend. Can work in-memory, and embedded inside an existing Go app. Redis compatible API useful for testing.
Feature complete so now in maintenance-only mode - sometimes it’s nice for a project to be “finished”. It deliberately isn’t trying to replace Redis if you need everything it offers.
Idempotent database schema management.
Define the schema in a single file, sqldef manages the migrations for MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, and SQL Server. Doesn’t need to be connected to the database - can run offline in CI. All operations are idempotent. Single Go binary.
Focused on the popular SQL databases.
Here's the interesting beta and early access releases we featured this week.
