Comment on Launch HN: JumpWire (YC W22) – Easily encrypt customer data in your databases

Looks great. How do you guys compare to something like Voltage?

The value prop is definitely very similar. I'm not as familiar with Voltage as I am with other solutions, but my understanding is that it requires either using the Voltage database driver (JDBC/ODBC in particular) or an HTTP API.

With JumpWire, all of the works happens in an engine proxy that works directly with the database protocols. That makes the integration simpler - any language and connector can be used by just changing the hostname and auth. The downside is it's harder for us to add new databases - Voltage's approach definitely wins out there.

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation.
