| Hey HN, A new project from us at Splitgraph: Seafowl, a database that's optimized for Web applications running analytical SQL queries straight from the user's browser. Used to power interactive visualizations and dashboards. Features: - Fast: written in Rust and uses Apache DataFusion. About 5-10x faster than PostgreSQL (some benchmarks available at [1]) - Light: single 50MB binary that starts in 10ms - Extensible: write user-defined functions in anything that compiles to WASM - Cache-friendly: REST API designed to work well with CDNs like Cloudflare or caches like Varnish (as well as the user's browser cache). - Demo of Seafowl providing data to an Observable notebook here [2] (press F12 and refresh the page to see caching in action) Happy to answer any questions!
