Why Did Astro Make A Database?

I think last think Astro needs is a CMS , like payloadCMS , WP comes with db and a cms

[@heunha9269]

They already had a seamless integration from their sponsor which happens to be a cms provider too which is Storyblok

[@guled669]

They will get there soon, I'm using wagtail for project I would rather have db and cms shipped with Astro than using wagtail

[@thedelanyo]

Now let's wait for Nextjs' and Sveltekit's

[@jatiquep5543]

Vercel already has a db ... But they would though create nextdb 🤣🤣

[@pookiepats]

Firebase “joke” was terrible

[@looksgoodhoss]

Not to be confused with AstraDB, the Cassandra managed service. I’m looking forward to AstruDB.

[@metropolis10]

when I first searched AstroDB in google, it said "do you mean astradb" and gave me astra only links. This is a real problem for them before you have a search history on their website.

[@kevinyoukhana]

I will just stick to Supabase

I actually believed the joke initially... I guess he assumes we are all on twitter all day so we know what is happening there

[@DiscipleDown]

​@@Totomenu what's twitter?

[@Nitr4Oo]

You realize that you can use different schemas (the default being 'public') to effectively manage different projects on the same database rather than prefixing everything ?

[@othafakk]

In MySQL, which is one of the most popular databases in the world (second only to Oracle in terms of adoption), CREATE SCHEMA is just a synonym for CREATE DATABASE.

[@MrHamsterbacke756]

Why does one need to prefix table names to share the DB instead of just using catalogs (named database in postgres) or schemas? The prefix thing seems like a hack.

[@viniciusmachadorodrigues1724]

SQLite doesnt support this

[@TheItamarp]

I was a really big fan of Astro before this, and this just takes things to the next level.

[@JLarky]

I don't get the "firebase" joke

[@mrocholl]

Neither do I. Absolutely awesome they chose to partner with turso :)

Thank you parasocial 😂

The Astro logo is the state of Texas not a fire! Think Houston and rocket ships....hence the name Astro!

[@waykoolgeek3947]

Rockets are pushed up by a base of fire

[@dxhelios7902]

I have used Astro on Azure Static web sites and external Azure Functions for backend. Pretty intuitive. Copilot helps a lot with their components. I think they did a good job. And with Azure Functions I can use standard storage SQL API for DB in proper authentication based on managed identity. I am pretty happy how my personal site is progressing. Astro is simple, well organized. Allows me not to hate javascript. Not using SSR nonsense, though I think Astro DB could be useful for those hosting on non-Azure. So far I paid only for domain name. so 8 EURs per year...

But can we host the libsql somewhere ourselves or are we locked into astro studio?

[@hebestreitfan6973]

4:12 Banging my head into a wall is also free.

[@waykoolgeek3947]

There is no "Astro db" like there is a Mongo db, a Neo4J, or a recent Surrealdb. There is an Astro integration inside Astro of Turso "Database as a Service" based on libSQL database and an integration of Drizzle ORM. Naming it "Astro db" is limiting. Now the way (the only Astro way) to go with using a database with Astro is to use the Tusrso-Astro DBasS based libSQL ? I would rather have it as the first Astro Framework DB adapter-integration with a DBaaS offer on top. The first one but not the only and last one. Opening a futur for the Astro framework to have other Astro DB adapters ... One for Postgres, one for SurrealDB, and others ... so that we could use those. Unlike the island architecture wich enables to use Solidjs or Svelte ... choosing this "Astro db" as the true db for Astro does not expand possibilities !

[@kasper369]

[@drane4563]

never has been

[@YTDeletes90PercentOfMyComments]

Is this what frontend devs seriously think backend shit is like? Do you understand internet infrastructure at all?

[@YTDeletes90PercentOfMyComments]

The type of job youre probably looking for is called UX Designer and they all suck because theyre all sheep for the latest trend.

[@neociber24]

You need a backend anyways, or is on a fullstack framework, other language or external tool like Firebase.

[@adriablancafort]

Astro is the best thing that happened to web development until wordpress

[@frackinfamous6126]

I agree about the ‘Bunton’ 😂

[@Totomenu]

genius

[@damon8541]

Don't get the point about database prefixes, standard databases like PostgreSQL and SQL Server have always allowed you to make as many databases as you want on the same instance.

[@aldierygonzalez7249]

Its a QoL thing, not a technical advancement. It autoprefixes your db tables without you having you write down the prefix in every call. Most managed solutions only guve you one or two databases with high limits so this is a good way to have multiple projects on one db

[@underflowexception]

Shared hosting providers may limit the account to so many databases

[@tgeorg12]

When's the video coming out calling out planetscale for their free tier rug pull with no affordable starter tier option?

[@yaakovbennett]

Sooo, you have to use Astro to use the db or can you use it with other frameworks?

[@bioburden]

Ha, way to poke fun at people not getting the sarcasm in the past (guilty as charged), though I'm a good bit into the video and only now learning what the actual tech-stack is. 😁

[@DeanRTaylor]

Because all those new grads posting on reddit about sending 500 applications without a response just need another abstraction over a half century old industry standard technology to finally land their job and call themselves an engineer 😍

What do you use as vscode theme / font ? And what browser do you use ?

Not sure about the font, but maybe is San Francisco Mono, it's a Mac default

if postgres, good to use "schema" instead of prefix.

[@riklaunim]

Astro is more like SPA JS framework than an SSG by now. Good social media, rushing version number, and now copy-pasting a SQLite database as a proprietary SaaS ;) Why isn't there any good static content site generator from static files that just works and doesn't go in your way when you aren't a node developer?

[@daedalus5070]

Astro does all that lol, just use the SSG mode + MD files

[@m.arslansarwar9449]

Just don't go SPA way. Just use Astro as SSG. They re just trying to increase number of use cases for creating dynamic websites with Astro. You can use SPA frameworks in Astro optionally. Don't worry.

[@riklaunim]

@@daedalus5070I don't want to import images on top of my files alongside importing components and whatever else there next to frontmatter, I want template blocks instead of pushing everything to the root template through each inheritance chain in templates (and HTML inside JSX-weird if/else statements). My pages aren't markdown but HTML too so I would have to use .astro pages which would have a lot of content escaped to not be treated as broken astro/js syntax breaking the build - like for example nginx configuration :) (and content collections are only for MD files).

@@riklaunim Maybe you should try something like mustache + writing your own stuff in your favorite language.

Exciting. V v cool and great timing wrt planetscale retiring their free tier. So many nerds will flock after abandoning PS. I think PS still has a place for serious db business tho.

"Built on top of Firebase" Theo plz go hide yourself, it's built on top of Turso, stop look at the money you get promoting things and start actually using them,

[@doc8527]

lol, he is not even a firebase fan or something. He just made a typical dad joke because the Astro logo is a rocket "based" on "Fire", hence "Fire"+"base". You just don't get the joke. Also, please don't be so mad and mention Turso at the same time (even it's part of the context or fact), as you are so trigged like a Turso fanboy and bring unnecessarily negative energy associated with it. You guys just constantly remind me the Turso data leak incident. I love to try out Turso, but it doesn't mean I will forget that incident, as least recently.
