Interesting tools

Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.

Databasement

Database server backups.

What we like

Manage database (MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB, SQLite, Redis, etc) backups through a web UI. Supports local, S3, SFTP locations and connections to sources through SSH. Can be automated via an API and MCP server.

What we don't like

No fine-grained user permissions. UI looks a bit vibe-coded.

Neko Master

Network traffic dashboard.

What we like

Real time visualization of network traffic through a minimal PWA. Pulls data from the network gateway (OpenWrt, Linux, router, etc) through an agent or by directly connecting to the gateway. Runs as a simple container. Does domain, IP, proxy stats with trends.

What we don't like

Data is stored in SQLite by default, which is a good place to start, but you can connect to Clickhouse for more robust storage.
