When is the best time to share a "new" product?

Is now (as soon as possible), even if it's not the way you want it

pREST exists since 2016 and today I remembered to publish it on Product Hunt, without having much expectation on the engagement.

To my surprise, has a much higher engagement than I imagined, especially in the installation of binary (software).

We will be a software for API development based on PostgreSQL database (new or existing) with low-code, there is a lot of work to be done... we are just in the beginning.

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'))
