Say hello to postgres.new, an in-browser Postgres environment backed by AI. With PGlite, a WASM Postgres variant, you can quickly spin up infinite Postgres databases directly in your browser. The best part? You get a large language model (LLM) integrated with each database, allowing nifty features like CSV import, generating charts and database diagrams, all without leaving your local setup. Whether you’re visualizing data or drafting complex SQL queries with AI aid, postgres.new combines the power of Postgres and ChatGPT into one seamless experience. It’s a playground for every SQL enthusiast and AI tinkerer.
AWS is sunsetting new access to its Cloud9 IDE, but fear not! DotFiles Insider highlights Daytona, an enterprise-level alternative offering robust, self-hosted development environments. Daytona not only supports multi-cloud deployments but also integrates seamlessly with popular IDEs and version control systems. Built to boost productivity and security, it ensures compliance and flexibility while mitigating vendor lock-in risks. For organizations eyeing a Cloud9 substitute, Daytona might just be the upgrade needed.
