Infrabase▲142We too at first thought that letting an LLM manage your AWS account must be a bad idea. What could possibly go wrong?? However we couldn’t resist building it, and when we did, we were surprised how much it can do even in plain vanilla form, which currently is just the ai-sdk frontend with some aws sdk code generation (inspared by aws-mcp). We all but stopped using the AWS console internally and switched to Infrabase - a lot of the time it’s much faster to prompt than to click around in AWS console, especially for things that involve multiple steps, IAM roles, etc. So we started to think of…

I can't tell if HN is the right kind of place for this stuff anymore since people are so advanced in their use but I thought it was interesting to leverage my existing Go microservices framework and turn it into the core of what would provide tools for an agent cli or whatever beyond that. Extensibility is key. Thought I'd share and get a conversation going.

In 2023, AWS announced[1] IAM authentication for MSK Kafka clusters with support for "all programming languages"… except C++. While Java[2], Python[3], Go[4], and others got official SDKs, C++ developers/vendors were stuck hardcoding SCRAM-SHA credentials in code/configs or relying on heavier Java-based tools like Kafka Connect or Apache Flink. Later, community projects added Rust[5] and Ruby[6] support. Why no C++? Rust might be the new favorite, but C++ is still king for high-performance data systems: minimal dependencies, lean resource use, and raw speed. At Timeplus, we needed…

Hello HN, We're excited to introduce Aperture[0], an open-source project that addresses the challenges of detecting and mitigating reliability and performance issues in microservices. Aperture provides a reliability abstraction layer, enabling globalized load control for easier management across distributed microservice architectures[1]. DoorDash uses Aperture and detailed its implementation in a recent blog post[2], discussing microservice architecture failures such as cascading failure, retry storm, death spiral, and metastable failure. The post also examines the limitations of existing…

Hi HN, Petrus here from Cape Town, South Africa. I spent the better half of 2024 integrating our Clojure-based cloud provisioning platform at CloudAfrica[^1] with SpiceDB[^2], a scalable ReBAC based authorization system based on Zanzibar, Google's globally-consistent authorization system. The problem with any external authorization system is modelling & synchronization: SpiceDB has a text-based schema DSL to define Relations & Permissions and models Relationships as 3-tuples of `[subject relation resource]`. However, in Datomic we have attributes like `:account/owner`,…

Hey all, Just reposting after about a year since the last time I shared. Micro is a platform for API development. It combines a lot of the core primitives you'd expect from a cloud platform as a single logical server. The closest equivalent is Dapr.io. It bakes in the concept of environments, source to running builds and a framework for Go development. It's useful where you want to write backend services in Go and expose them through a single API (also included in Micro). We once wrote about "Netlify for the frontend, Micro for the backend"…
