Interesting tools
Each week we review 2-3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week. View the full archive.
Statsig
Feature flags, dynamic config, analytics.
What we like: Build product experiments with feature flags and testing scenarios. Set up dynamic configs which can be modified in real time from the dashboard. Includes session replays and web analytics in the same product. Send arbitrary metrics for analysis and building experiments around. Can also be managed via a CLI.
What we don't like: Requires additional setup to integrate if you already have a data warehouse of metrics for storage and analysis of experiment data.
✦ Sponsored: All reviews are editorially independent and partners must meet our selection criteria.
Garage
Self-hosted S3 compatible object storage.
What we like: Deploy a single binary to set up an S3 compatible object storage server. Designed for data redundancy across multiple nodes. Doesn’t assume a fast network - can be deployed on commodity servers (cloud, VMs, bare metal, etc) - and doesn’t require high spec servers. Use any existing S3 client. Open source.
What we don't like: Cluster operations must be executed carefully to avoid inconsistent state. S3 clients are ubiquitous, but are overly complex for simple operations.
Review permalinksq
Like jq but for databases and documents.
What we like: Query, join, export, import data from databases, Excel, CSV. Inspect and visualize metadata e.g. table structure. Diff rows and tables within databases. Import across formats e.g. Excel into Postgres. Copy, truncate, drop tables. Plugin system for sources. Open source.
What we don't like: No drivers yet for cloud or NoSQL databases e.g. BigQuery, ClickHouse, MongoDB, Redis.
