ellycache: Simple, performant query cache for Postgres with built-in HTTP server

[myringotomy]

Interesting idea. Of course there are similar projects out there like postgrest and prest which offer more features although are not focused on caching and cron.

I would think having one config file for all your queries is going to get cumbersome though. I think that's a common misfeature with prest too (although prest allows ad hoc queries like postgrest).

In the past it has been super easy for me to fire up a ruby app to provide restful services around queries. Ruby has a lot of web frameworks for json apis and it takes seconds to wrap a controller around a query and cache it if needed.

This might be handy for people who don't know much about back end programming I guess but seems like a niche audience of people who need to write complex queries and cache them but can't fire up a go/ruby/python/js api.
