Celebrating 3,000+ GitHub Stars πŸŽ‰

We are celebrating the milestone of reaching 3,000 GitHub stars across all SeaQL repositories!

This wouldn't have happened without your support and contribution, so we want to thank the community for being with us along the way.

The Journey

SeaQL.org was founded back in 2020. We devoted ourselves into developing open source libraries that help Rust developers to build data intensive applications. In the past two years, we published and maintained four open source libraries: SeaQuery, SeaSchema, SeaORM and StarfishQL. Each library is designed to fill a niche in the Rust ecosystem, and they are made to play well with other Rust libraries.

  • Dec 2020: SeaQuery first released
