Re:SQL pipe syntax available in public preview in BigQuery on Thursday February 13, 2025 @03:07PM (#43040648)
We made pql.dev that works with the different sql syntaxes by translating kusto like queries to sql (using CTE). It's worked really well thusfar and I wish someone would make a standard pipelined query language that gets supported across most databases

I know prql exists, but the syntax is pretty cumbersome and not something I enjoyed writing, but I do understand why folks would gravitate towards it

Re:Why does Cloudflare Pages have such a generous Free tier? on Wednesday January 15, 2025 @11:54AM (#42713484)
We're incredibly biased since several members of our team worked at Cloudflare, but we spend between $20 a month on Cloudflare for our startup and it is fantastic.

- Marketing videos on stream

- Pages for multiple nextjs sites

- DNS + Domain Reg

- cloudflared / tunnels for local dev

- zaraz tag manager

- Page rules / redirect rules for vanity redirects we want to do.

The list gets longer every day and the amount of problems we can solve quickly is amazing. The value to money is unmatched

We do use raw sql, but we're a security business which tends to have heavy reliance on other languages that have a similar syntax to pql
The main goal was to help security engineers / analysts, who _loathe_ sql (for better or worse).

I tend to think this is a little more user friendly, personally, and it's nice to give some open-source competition to the major languages that are used in security (SPL, Sumologic, KQL, and ES|QL).

We were surprised that there weren't syntactic competitiors (i.e. -- while prql has some similar goals, the syntax and audience in mind were very different)
