Introducing DBStudio: A modern, AI-powered workspace for your data

I'm excited to finally share what we've been building. DBStudio is officially live.
We built DBStudio to solve the headache of managing local and remote databases. Instead of juggling multiple clunky clients, insecure tunnels, or complex VPNs, we wanted something that just works, securely and instantly.

Here’s what you can do right now:

- Connect Anything, Anywhere Use our CLI agent (npm i -g @dbstudio/cli) to securely bridge your local Postgres, MySQL, SQLite, or LibSQL database to the cloud. No firewall configuration needed.
- Secure by Design We’ve implemented a robust, single-use token system. Every connection uses a unique, cryptographically secure token that ensures your database credentials remain safe.
- Visualize Your Schema Understanding a new codebase is hard. DBStudio generates interactive, beautiful ERDs instantly. See relationships clearly and navigate your tables visually.
- Chat with Your Data Stuck on a complex join? Our built-in AI understands your schema. Ask questions in plain English and get accurate, optimized SQL back.

It’s free to get started. I’d love for you to try it out and let me know what you think!

👉 Live App: https://dbstudio.tech
👉CLI: npm i -g @dbstudio/cli
👉 Docs: https://docs.dbstudio.tech

Happy coding and don't forget to watch the demo video!

I just logged in right now and it’s already looking awesome... I didn’t get the chance to try it earlier because of the mebrat, but now I’m about to test everything 🔥

@sifendev

Wow!

@sifendev

no complaints so far everything is working smoothly...

@sifendev

And they say money doesn’t buy happiness… Yeah, sure 😂

@sifendev

I updated my system today, and all my browsers stopped working. I tried restarting it froze, shut down, and then wouldn’t open again. Tried literally everything nothing.... Lost 3 days’ worth of work and all my files

Now I’ve booted Omarchy… let’s hope it works.

@sifendev

Just give me that chat interface in Neovim… and goodbye to all other editors

Made my first contribution to a community project

This has to be one of the sexiest toast libraries I've seen

#Frontend

It’s almost been a year and a half since I started taking coding seriously.

In that short time, I’ve worked with a ton of technologies, met some insanely awesome people, built things I genuinely love, and even landed a really good job.

And yeah… I even dropped out.

If I could travel back 1 year and tell myself, "Bro, we actually got good at this… we got a job… and we dropped out," I wouldn’t believe it.

That sounds insane.

But none of this happened alone. I got here with a LOT of help from our community members. So seriously thank you to everyone who supported, guided, corrected and pushed me.

Now after touching so many parts of tech, I don’t just want to say:

I’m a full-stack developer.

There are a lot of full-stack devs these days.

I want to specialize.
I want to say: i do this.

And be known for it.

So I’ve decided to go deep into:

WebSockets, AI-powered software, AI agents, and real-time applications.

It’s a pretty complicated area distributed systems, streaming architectures, event-driven design but that’s exactly why it’s interesting.

I’ve laid out a 3-month roadmap where I’ll build projects that gradually increasing in complexity. I’ll share the projects, concepts, and lessons as I go, inshallah.

And again thank you all for being part of this journey.

@sifendev

These are some of the concepts I’ll be covering and building projects around:

* WebSocket protocol internals (handshake, frames, ping/pong, backpressure)
* Designing real-time architectures (event-driven systems)
* Redis Pub/Sub & horizontal scaling for WebSockets
* Stateful vs stateless servers
* Optimistic UI & state reconciliation
* Operational Transforms / CRDTs for collaborative apps
* High-frequency data streams & latency optimization
* Binary protocols (Protocol Buffers / custom wire formats)
* Load shedding & connection throttling
* AI SDK streaming (token-level control)
* Structured outputs & tool/function calling
* Autonomous AI agent loops
* Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
* Embeddings & vector databases
* Context window management & memory layering
* Multi-agent orchestration systems
* Prompt injection protection & AI system hardening
* Multi-tenant AI SaaS architecture
* Usage metering & billing systems
* Observability, logging & performance monitoring
* Distributed system design patterns
* Secure real-time authentication (JWT, refresh flows)

Massive update for Chillaton 2, guys.

I have collab-ed with @miheretabtrysstuff to make the submission of projects as well as judging and liking of projects easier through https://stark.wip.et/. Essentially we now have a hub where the contest is held at and all that is required to "register" is to just submit your project and github repo. Check it out here: CHILLATON 2

Massive thanks to Miheretab for showing my around the app. We basically hyper tested the heck out of the contest feature😂 A great guy honestly, go sub to his channel gang🫡

Share this around so all participants know where to submit their stuff🙏🏾😁

Ramadan Mubarak 🌙✨

@sifendev

so have been working on this for the past 3 days.. mostly vibe coded... hope u guys benefit from it

New Ramadan New Me

and once again Ramadan kareem 🧡

I think 700 subs Before the end of the #LOCK28 is realistic
