Experience

Foxx TypeScript

http://github.com/SquashConsulting/foxx_typescript

Foxx is a Node.js-based microservice management platform that runs on top of the V8 JavaScript engine and has access to in-memory database data. I created this project to promote the usage of type-safe data access layer microservices with the help of the founders of ArangoDB.

A Self-hosted Library Management Platform

http://github.com/rasjonell/x-library

X-Library is an Elixir and Phoenix-based highly available, federated, and fault-tolerant library management platform.
Decentralized in nature, X-Library allows its tenants to build local networks of libraries, connect with the global network of readers, and sync data among nodes to get decentralized and open suggestions.

Kaliningrad

https://github.com/SquashConsulting/kaliningrad

Kaliningrad is a Template-based database modeler that leverages the power of multi-model data stores. Using the intuitive UI, one puts their mental model into a graph and then generates a fully-functional back end that exposes all the necessary functionality to develop a client.

Using graph theory concepts, the project will also understand the missing links in your graph and generate suggestions in real-time, like new items to buy or new people to follow.

EctoAQL

https://github.com/SquashConsulting/Ecto_aql

EctoAQL is a replacement for EctoSQL, the default object-relational mapping for Elixir and Phoenix. With EctoAQL, Phoenix users can now connect their applications with ArangoDB multi-model datastore. Using VelocyPack and Arangox driver, I created a highly-performant ORM for graph databases.
