Self-serve CDC when Fivetran and AWS DMS already dominate this space.

Strengths
  • Sub-minute latency with exactly-once delivery semantics out of the box
  • Automatic schema evolution handles table changes without pipeline breaks
  • Self-serve onboarding removes the sales-call friction competitors require
Weaknesses
  • Crowded CDC category with well-funded incumbents and open-source alternatives
  • Trust barrier for startups handling production data without enterprise track record
Category
Target Audience

Data engineers, analytics teams, startups building data pipelines

Post Description

Hey HN, cofounder of Artie here. We’ve built a real-time data replication tool that captures every row-level change in your source database and streams it to your warehouse in under 60 seconds.

The last time I posted here, people had to book a call with us in order to access Artie. Today, that’s no longer the case. You can now connect your source and destination and start streaming immediately.

I spent years of my career building large-scale data pipelines and experienced how difficult it was to get real-time data firsthand. I believed there must be a better way to stream data into our warehouse, which resulted in Artie being born. And now with AI agents, reducing data latency has become more and more crucial as agents need to make decisions off of fresh data.

When I first started building Artie, I quickly learned that the components meant to keep CDC running smoothly are very much bolted on with tons of edge cases. Unfortunately in practice, they were not built to work together. We ended up dealing with schema drift, backfill race conditions, Kafka offset commits, and TOAST columns. I’d love to know if others have hit these same issues while building in-house.

artie.com, would love feedback!

Quoracle: Self-replicating multi-LLM-consensus agents (Elixir)

Quoracle actually does something interesting: it queries a pool of models and only executes actions they agree on, while letting agents spawn children and persist full state to Postgres — all visible in a LiveView dashboard. The per-model conversation history, recursive hierarchy, and explicit consensus pipeline are clever touches; it’s clearly aimed at experimentation rather than drop-in production use (the README even flags security and deployment caveats).
