Snaplake – Query past database states without restoring backups
by clroot·Feb 26, 2026·1 point·0 comments
AI Analysis
●●SolidSolve My ProblemNiche Gem
Skip the restore—query old database states from snapshots in seconds instead of hours.
Strengths
- •Point-in-time snapshots as immutable Parquet files eliminate the restore-query-teardown cycle, saving hours of downtime per incident.
- •Row-level diff between snapshots with color-coded highlighting makes auditing and compliance investigations genuinely fast.
- •DuckDB integration means standard SQL queries work immediately—no custom query language or vendor lock-in.
Weaknesses
- •Snapshot strategy (cron-based, retention policies) is well-trodden ground—similar to existing backup tools (Percona, pgBackRest) and time-travel DBs (Neon, Supabase branches).
- •No evidence of handling production-scale snapshots—storage cost and query latency for multi-TB databases unclear.

Oops Backup – Simple off-site backups for your databases
Client-side key derivation + AES-256-GCM and OpenSSL-compatible ciphertext is a practical, privacy-first combo — you can upload backups the service can never read and still decrypt them locally if you prefer. The product nails simplicity (one plan, included 2GB, 32-day rolling history), but that same simplicity limits appeal for anyone with larger datasets or retention needs; the irreversible password/key model is honest but should be extremely prominent.
