🔊 PgDog: A Traffic Cop for PostgreSQL Growth
📦 pgdogdev/pgdog
PgDog is an open-source tool that sits in front of PostgreSQL databases and helps them handle more traffic without forcing teams to rewrite their apps. It works like a smart traffic manager: it reuses database connections, spreads requests across servers, and can split data across multiple database machines when one server is no longer enough. This solves common scaling problems like slowdowns, too many simultaneous connections, and painful database growth. It is useful because apps can keep using standard PostgreSQL tools while PgDog handles the routing behind the scenes, improving speed, reliability, and room to grow with less operational effort.

🔊 Wireshark, But Much Easier in Your Terminal
📦 vignesh07/babyshark
Babyshark is a terminal-based tool for exploring network traffic captures (PCAP files) without needing to be a Wireshark expert. It turns raw traffic into a guided, easier-to-read interface with summaries, top hosts and ports, domain-based views, and a “What’s weird?” section that highlights suspicious or broken patterns. It can also watch live traffic when paired with tshark, the command-line part of Wireshark. This helps developers, IT staff, and curious users quickly answer practical questions like what is using the network, what seems slow or broken, and where to investigate next, all from a fast keyboard-friendly interface.
