The new deno provider for StackQL is now available, enabling developers to query and manage Deno Deploy resources using familiar SQL syntax. This provider allows you to interact with Deno Deploy's control plane API, giving you complete control over your organizations, projects, deployments, domains, and KV databases through a consistent SQL interface.

The Deno Deploy provider offers comprehensive coverage of the Deno Deploy API, organized into logical services that mirror Deno's resource structure:

ServiceDescription
organizationManage organizations and analytics
projectCreate and manage projects within organizations
deploymentDeploy, manage, and monitor serverless applications
domainConfigure and verify custom domains for your applications
databaseManage KV databases and KV database backups for your deployments

With the deno provider for StackQL, you can now include Deno Deploy in your infrastructure-as-code workflows, analytics dashboards, and cross-cloud orchestration processes using the same SQL syntax you use for other cloud providers.

For more information on the Deno Deploy provider for StackQL, see the Deno Deploy Provider Docs which provides detailed documentation for every resource and method, along with ready-to-use SQL examples.

Getting Startedโ€‹

To start using the deno provider, simply pull it from the StackQL registry:

registry pull deno;

You'll need to set up your authentication by exporting your Deno API token:

export DENO_DEPLOY_TOKEN="your_deno_api_token"

Then you can begin querying your Deno Deploy resources:

-- List all projects in an organization
SELECT
id,
name,
description,
createdAt,
updatedAt
FROM deno.project.projects
WHERE organizationId = 'your-org-id';

Results:

|-----------------------------|-------------|--------------------------------------|----------------------|-----------------------------|
| createdAt | description | id | name | updatedAt |

Latest DigitalOcean Provider Available

ยท 5 min read
Technologist and Cloud Consultant

The latest digitalocean provider for StackQL is available now (v25.09.00345), featuring a comprehensive reorganization of services and resources that better aligns with DigitalOcean's API structure. This update improves discoverability, logical grouping, and overall usability when working with DigitalOcean resources through StackQL, while adding exciting new capabilities like support for Gradient AI Platform through the genai service.

What's Changedโ€‹

The updated DigitalOcean provider features a more granular and logical organization of services that mirrors DigitalOcean's API architecture more closely. Here is a summary of the services included in the latest digitalocean provider:

ServiceDescription
accountManages account information, settings, and team configurations
appsManages App Platform deployments for static sites, APIs, and web applications
billingHandles billing configurations, invoices, and payment methods
computeControls virtual machines (Droplets), snapshots, and compute resources
container_registryManages container registries and image repositories
databasesManages managed database services and configurations
genaiProvides access to AI capabilities including the Gradient AI Platform
kubernetesControls Kubernetes clusters, node pools, and related resources
monitoringManages monitoring solutions, alerts, and metrics
networkingControls VPCs, load balancers, and network configurations
oneclickProvides one-click application installations and marketplace solutions
projectsOrganizes resources into logical groups for better management and billing
serverlessManages Functions as a Service (FaaS) for event-driven, scalable computing
spacesControls object storage for storing and serving large files and static assets
vpcsManages Virtual Private Cloud networks for isolated resource communications
note

The improved organization including service and resource naming and mapping will introduce changes to queries against the previous provider version (v24.11.00274). You can pin the previous version in stackql-deploy or via registry pull in the interim while you make necessary query modifications.

Enhanced Documentationโ€‹

The new DigitalOcean Provider Docs provide comprehensive documentation on how to use the new digitalocean provider including ready-to-use SQL examples for each resource and method. A standout feature is the copy-paste functionality for all SQL queries, making it incredibly easy to:

  1. Compose Infrastructure-as-Code workflows: Each method documentation includes working SQL examples that can be directly copied into your deployment scripts or CI/CD pipelines. Simply click the copy button next to any example to get production-ready SQL code.

  2. Build analytics dashboards: Create sophisticated cross-service queries by combining examples from different resources. The documentation's consistent query formatting makes it simple to join related data across multiple DigitalOcean services.

  3. Develop governance reports: Copy baseline queries and customize them for your specific compliance needs. The pre-formatted SQL provides the perfect starting point for custom reporting.

Gradient AI Platform Supportโ€‹

A standout addition to this release is comprehensive support for DigitalOcean's Gradient AI Platform through the new genai service. This enables developers to:

  • Deploy and manage AI models using familiar SQL syntax
  • Monitor AI workloads alongside other cloud resources
  • Incorporate AI capabilities into infrastructure-as-code workflows
  • Create cross-service orchestrations that leverage AI capabilities

Getting Startedโ€‹

To start using the updated digitalocean provider, simply pull the latest version from stackql shell or stackql registry command:

registry pull digitalocean;

Then you can begin querying your DigitalOcean resources with SQL:

-- List all droplets
SELECT
id,
name,
status,
size_slug,
JSON_EXTRACT(size, '$.vcpus') as vcpus,
JSON_EXTRACT(size, '$.memory') as memory,
JSON_EXTRACT(size, '$.disk') as disk_size_gb,
JSON_EXTRACT(size, '$.price_hourly') as price_hourly,
JSON_EXTRACT(size, '$.price_monthly') as price_monthly
FROM digitalocean.compute.droplets;

Results:

|-----------|---------------------------------------|--------|------------------------|-------|--------|--------------|--------------|---------------|
| id | name | status | size_slug | vcpus | memory | disk_size_gb | price_hourly | price_monthly |
|-----------|---------------------------------------|--------|------------------------|-------|--------|--------------|--------------|---------------|
| 457265395 | ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-35gb-intel-syd1-01 | active | s-1vcpu-1gb-35gb-intel | 1 | 1024 | 35 | 0.0119 | 8 |
|-----------|---------------------------------------|--------|------------------------|-------|--------|--------------|--------------|---------------|

updated_at,
region,
temperature
FROM
digitalocean.genai.agents;
