       Show HN: SQL Simulator - Create Subsetted Databases in Docker or
       K8s
        
       Hi, I'm Weston Goodwin. I originally posted about my project on HN
       back in June 2023 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36187556)
       and wanted to share some of the updates I've made since then. As a
       referesher SQL Simulator is a tool that simulates SQL script
       execution by creating a subsetted database. Below is a list of
       changes I've made:  1.)It now supports both Docker and Kubernetes.
       2.)The database container automatically self-destructs after 15
       minutes of inactivity to improve security. 3.)A Data Governor
       limits the amount of sensitive data that can be retrieved in a day.
       4.)The K8s version can be used as a database proxy. Simply remove
       direct access to the database and force users to go through the K8s
       cluster/Data governor to view any data.  The tool is available
       without requiring signup or credit card. I'd appreciate any
       feedback or suggestions. Thanks for this post reading.  Docker

       | Might I suggest including version ranges with the supported DB
       | list[1] since my experience is that "mysql" isn't just one thing
       | across major versions, and that goes double for its sibling
       | MariaDB which may work or may not, so knowing that you've tried
       | it, and across which versions, would be super helpful
       | 
       | I'd also advocate linking to https://sql-
       | simulator.tribalknowledge.tech/getting-started/l... from the FAQ
       | because someone would need to be aware of that before investing
       | the energy in setting up a PoC (or scheduling a call only for
       | them to learn it from the expenditure of both of your times,
       | arguably worse from your perspective due to opportunity cost)
       | 
       | Watch out for the mention of K8s pod in the docker docs:
       | https://ssdocker.tribalknowledge.tech/getting-started/techni...
       | 
       | p.s. I'm aware that complaining about websites is off topic, but
       | that fly-out menu is so enraging I'm willing to risk the flag
       | because as best I can tell it offers zero _value_ but non-zero
       | rage

         | to say what version I've tried it against. I have not tried it
         | against any of the MariaDB variants, so more than likely it
         | won't work with those.
