Hi HN, I built a small Linux CLI tool called witr (Why Is This Running?). The idea came from a situation most of us have hit: you log into a machine, see a process or port running, and immediately wonder why it exists, who started it, and what is keeping it alive right now. witr traces a process, service, or port back to its origin and responsibility chain and explains it in a way that’s quick to read, especially when you’re debugging under pressure. This is v0.1.0. It’s intentionally small and focused. Feedback, criticism, and edge cases are very welcome. Repo:…

A lightweight engine for durable execution / deterministic workflows I built with Rust, wasmtime and the WASM Component Model. Its main use is running reliable, long-running workflows that can automatically resume after failures. Looking for feedback on the approach and potential use cases!

Hi HN! I've been working on Bor, an open-source system for centralized Linux desktop management. Bor consists of a lightweight Go agent and a central server. Policies are streamed to clients over mTLS/gRPC in real time—no polling—and currently support Firefox, Chrome, KDE, dconf, polkit and package management, with more coming. Version 0.8 introduces several new policy types - Thunderbird, Microsoft Edge for Business and FirewallD zones, along with a number of improvements and fixes. I'd love feedback on the architecture, policy model, and whether this is something you'd consider for…

Our project is at: https://www.processmaker.io/ We built a high performance workflow engine in the cloud aimed for developers. It originally was intended as a BPMN focused engine but you can also create complex workflows programatically without any BPMN diagramming tools. Think of it as a platform that goes well beyond ITTT or Zapier. This platform means we can do services orchestration and serverless programming (using our script tasks which currently support LUA) as well as human enabled workflows (think of using forms and approvals, etc). We have SDKs in most major…

Uptrace is an all-in-one tool that supports distributed tracing, metrics, and logs. It uses OpenTelelemetry observability framework to collect data and ClickHouse database to store it. You can ingest data using OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP), Vector Logs, and Zipkin API. You can also use OpenTelemetry Collector to collect Prometheus metrics or receive data from Jaeger, X Ray, Apache, PostgreSQL, MySQL and many more. The latest Uptrace release introduces support for OpenTelemetry Metrics which includes: - User interface to build table-based and grid-based dashboards. - Pre-built dashboard…
