8VC has been very instrumental in PeerDB (YC S23)'s journey so far. They really know the space (Data, Dev tools, Open Source) well and have been great partners! Thank you for all the advice and support so far Bhaskar GhoshKevin NiechenVenkatesh S.! Thanks for this super well written post Gabe Rosen. 🙏
Real-time, reliable data access is crucial for effective AI, as well as countless enterprise applications of olden times. Postgres has never been more important to the modern data stack, but you wouldn't know it from the data movement tools available.
Enter PeerDB (YC S23), which is fast emerging as the new data movement and ETL standard for Postgres enterprises. Built by longtime friends and Postgres builders Sai Krishna Srirampur and Kaushik Iska, PeerDB has been shipping product (and Postgres data) furiously from inception. By focusing on Postgres data types and quality, not quantity, of connectors - along with some extremely elegant implementations - PeerDB is consistently 10x faster and 80% cheaper than legacy ETL tools.
Today, PeerDB announced their seed round, which we were privileged to lead, along with participation from Y Combinator, Webb Investment Network, Wayfinder Ventures, and some distinguished angels. Congratulations to Sai, Kaushik, & friends!

And, Shine also does events - invites, RSVPs, messaging, and more. Available for free at https://shine.sunshine.com, now you can organize your event with wit, beauty, and intelligence – with photo sharing natively built in right from the start. What sets Shine events apart:
Clever, gorgeous invitations. The best events have creative themes with originality and wit. Generative AI can, in a matter of seconds, create an array of stunning options to define your event and build your guests’ anticipation. With Dall-E from OpenAI integrated, you can jot down an event concept in a few words and get striking invitation options. These rich, creative invites elevate any event.

Smooth, speedy communication. Shine is designed to be fast and fluid. Invite your guests by email, mobile number or link. RSVPs are clean, easy, and expressive. Shine lets your guests receive updates how they want – by text, email, or both. We’ve thoughtfully optimized Shine, so you and your guests can focus on the event itself.
Built-in photo sharing. Now participating in event photo sharing is as easy as RSVPing yes. Every event created on Shine automatically has a shared photo album defined by the invite’s place and time. Once you RSVP, you are added to the shared album. All you have to do is install the Shine app (https://lnkd.in/guz-2efT). When you are at the event, photos you take will be shared (magically or manually, in accordance with your preference) and photos other guests take will be shared with you. And, like all Shine albums, they will be curated, clustered, and available in full resolution.
At Sunshine, we aim to make the mundane magical and make it easier to be thoughtful.
With easy, intuitive, group photo sharing and stunning, flawlessly organized events, it’s time to Shine. Get started today by downloading the Shine app (https://lnkd.in/guz-2efT) or visiting https://shine.sunshine.com.
