pREST just received it's 2,441th star on GitHub. We'll use this milestone to recap pREST’s growth and other important milestones since its beginning as an experimental project in 2016. We've accomplished lot of great things together.

Problem
There is PostgREST written in Haskell, but keeping Haskell software in production is not an easy job. With this need prestd was born. Read more.
Test using Docker
To simplify the process of bringing up the test environment we will use docker-compose
# Download docker compose file
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/prest/prest/main/docker-compose-prod.yml -O docker-compose.yml
# Up (run) PostgreSQL and prestd
docker-compose up
# Run data migration to create user structure for access (JWT)
docker-compose exec prest prestd migrate up auth
# Create user and password for API access (via JWT)
## user: prest
## pass: prest
docker-compose exec postgres psql -d prest -U prest -c "INSERT INTO prest_users (name, username, password) VALUES ('pREST Full Name', 'prest', MD5('prest'))…While tracking the success of an open source project is known to be a hard problem, we've a few metrics available to us. Currently 42 developers have contributed to some of the 1239 commits of the pREST repository made available in 20 releases. And this is only data from the main pREST repo.
The number of stars of a GitHub project is yet another indicator, because it means people are adding the project to their list of favorites. However, people that starred pREST are not necessarily users and many users don’t star pREST (if that applies to you, consider giving us a star!), therefore its not a precise metric. Till date pREST has 50k+ all-time users during the span of an year. Which includes ~4k+ monthly users.
Milestones like this are proud moments for the developers & community, help motivate more work & new developments. If you'd like to support pREST open source project, consider looking at the discussion page on GitHub.
This will be added to the greatest moment's timeline.
Immense thanks to all the contributors who dedicated part of their time to contribute to the project. Felipe Oliveira for starting this project with me in 2016, his experience in software engineering and staying active until today.
