A battery-included, local-first open-source PostgreSQL RDS distribution (PostgreSQL In Great STYle). It integrates financial-grade high availability (Patroni), point-in-time recovery (pgBackRest), connection pooling (PgBouncer), service discovery (HAProxy), full-stack observability (pg_exporter + VictoriaMetrics + Grafana), and 570+ pre-packaged extensions into a self-hosted data platform on bare metal or VMs.
Open-Source Projects
Nine open-source projects across PostgreSQL RDS, S3 object storage, package management, local VMs, and developer ergonomics.
A community-maintained, high-performance S3-compatible object storage distribution forked from MinIO. After upstream stripped the graphical admin console and binary packages from open source, SILO preserves and maintains the complete server (silo), CLI client (mcli), web management console (silo-console), and native RPM/DEB/Docker artifacts for self-hosted backups, AI data lakes, and sovereign infrastructure.
A local-first, zero-runtime-external-dependency Hugo Extended theme built for engineering documentation, multi-volume books, and technical blogs. A single unified shell powers six content models (Docs, Blog, Book, Landing, Expo, OpenAPI), four visual presets (Paper, Slate, Ink, Terminal), 21 on-demand components, and offline CJK/Latin search — with one `hugo` command and no Node.js toolchain.
A Go command-line package manager for PostgreSQL and its extension ecosystem. Paired with the pgext.cloud catalog and native DNF/YUM and APT repositories, PIG lets engineers configure upstream repos, install PostgreSQL 14–19, and discover, install, upgrade, or build 570+ extensions with a single command across EL 8/9/10, Debian 12/13, and Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 (x86_64 & ARM64).
A self-contained Go binary for building, snapshotting, and serving private and public APT and YUM package repositories (Store Once, Serve Everywhere). Backed by a content-addressed package pool, SOW handles GPG signing, incremental metadata indexing, immutable release snapshots, and differential sync to local directories or S3/R2 object storage.
A declarative Prometheus metrics exporter for PostgreSQL and PgBouncer. Every collector is defined in structured YAML and SQL with automatic server-version (PG 10–19) and extension gating, fine-grained query timeouts, caching, and health probes — exposing 600+ production observability metrics without recompiling a single line of Go.
A lightweight local virtual machine fleet manager designed for database clustering labs and infrastructure testing. From a single declarative YAML inventory, Barn boots multi-node Linux sandboxes in seconds (via KVM/libvirt or Apple Virtualization) or manages isolated native macOS VMs on Apple Silicon — replacing clunky Vagrant + VirtualBox setups.
An eight-year keyboard ergonomics system for macOS (Karabiner-Elements) and Windows (AutoHotkey). By turning the idle CapsLock key beside your left pinky into a fifth modifier (Hyper), Capslock unlocks 16 orthogonal home-row layers for cursor navigation, window tiling, app switching, media control, and symbol entry — complete with an interactive web customizer.
A zero-dependency C11 PostgreSQL extension for high-throughput multi-pattern string matching. ACDAT compiles thousands of literal patterns into a compact, read-only Aho-Corasick Double-Array Trie stored directly inside a PostgreSQL varlena datum, performing single-pass O(n) pattern matching, position extraction, counting, and leftmost-longest replacement.
