Open-source startups tagged #database

28 open-source startups in this directory carry the GitHub topic #database. 26 pushed code within 30 days of the snapshot of 2026-09-22, 1 has been quiet for 31–120 days, 1 has not pushed in over 120 days. Topics are set by each repository’s own maintainers, so this is what those projects chose to call themselves rather than a category we assigned.

All 28, most-starred first.

The whole directory by ship status →

The last column is the most recent push GitHub reported to us on 2026-09-22. It counts a push to any branch, by a person or a bot — it is not a claim that anyone is maintaining the project, and a quiet repository may be a finished one.
