Show HN: Misata – synthetic data engine using LLM and Vectorized NumPy

https://github.com/rasinmuhammed/misata
11•rasinmuhammed•3d ago
Hey HN, I’m the author.

I built Misata because existing tools (Faker, Mimesis) are great for random rows but terrible for relational or temporal integrity. I needed to generate data for a dashboard where "Timesheets" must happen after "Project Start Date," and I wanted to define these rules via natural language.

How it works: LLM Layer: Uses Groq/Llama-3.3 to parse a "story" into a JSON schema constraint config.

Simulation Layer: Uses Vectorized NumPy (no loops) to generate data. It builds a DAG of tables to ensure parent rows exist before child rows (referential integrity).

Performance: Generates ~250k rows/sec on my M1 Air.

It’s early alpha. The "Graph Reverse Engineering" (describe a chart -> get data) is experimental but working for simple curves.

pip install misata

I’d love feedback on the simulator.py architecture—I’m currently keeping data in-memory (Pandas) which hits a ceiling at ~10M rows. Thinking of moving to DuckDB for out-of-core generation next. Thoughts?
