Show HN: Centia.io – Open PostgreSQL/PostGIS back end for developers

https://centia.io/
24•mhoegh•3mo ago
Built a developer-friendly BaaS around PostgreSQL + PostGIS. Instant APIs, real-time updates, self-hostable Docker image. Feedback welcome

Comments

nullfield•3mo ago
So my very first question, after opening your page, is “what does this get me, if anything, to offset the very large decrease in efficiency vs. the native wireline protocol, given that it’s implemented pretty much everywhere?”
mhoegh•3mo ago
It enables you to use Postgres without the wireline protocol
whizzter•3mo ago
Feels like they're trying to make something alike PostgREST (and sell it as a service), ie being able to skip backend coding and this manages brokering and permissions for frontends that does most of the job anyhow.
mhoegh•3mo ago
That’s right. You can compare it to Pocketbase, but with PG as storage. It is open source and it’s easy to self host
lab14•3mo ago
Does it work with pgbouncer?
mhoegh•3mo ago
Yes, it works with pgBouncer, which is recommended in production. Centia.io will connect to pg/pgBouncer with different PG user creds, so pgBouncer must be configured for that. You can also use whatever managed PG service you like.
