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 friends, We are building EVA, an AI-Relational database system with first-class support for deep learning models. Our goal with EVA is to create a platform that supports AI-powered multi-modal database applications operating on structured (tables, feature vectors, etc.) and unstructured data (videos, podcasts, pdf, etc.) with deep learning models. EVA comes with a wide range of models for analyzing unstructured data, including models for object detection, OCR, text summarization, audio speech recognition, and more. The key feature of EVA is its AI-centric query optimizer. This optimizer…

Hey HN, it’s been just over a year since we launched HelixDB (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43975423), a project a friend and I started in college. It’s an OLTP graph database built on object-storage, with native vector search and full-text search (FTS). Why graph, vector and FTS? Graph databases provide a natural cognitive model for data, vectors allow for a semantic understanding of the entities and relationships in the graph, and FTS provides more specific filtering. Many AI-driven applications attempt to combine all of these functionalities by stitching together…

Hi! I've been a member of HN for fifteen years so today I'm very excited to share Plato. Plato is an Airtable-like interface for your Postgres or MySQL database. It's an admin panel for devs and non-devs alike to manage your DB. We see teams use Plato for customer support, customer success, ops, etc.. We built Plato because we think more people should be able to build and extend internal tools. We thought it was strange that even though low-code is supposed to democratize development, all of the low-code internal tool builders are marketed to engineers! Airtable is a familiar UI that fits…

Hello people of HN and fellow SREs! Over the past year, we have been building Aperture - an open-source flow control and reliability platform for cloud applications. Over the past few years, companies like LinkedIn[1], Google [2], Netflix [3], Stripe [4] have built cutting-edge flow control technologies to keep their applications reliable. Flow control is powerful because it enables graceful degradation- the ability to preserve key user experience pathways, even in the face of application failures. With Aperture project, we hope to democratize building reliable applications with effective…
