Distr is designed to help software engineers distribute and manage their applications or agents in customer-controlled or shared-responsibility environments. You only need a Docker Compose file or Helm chart—everything else for on-prem is handled by the platform. We’re are an open source dev tool company. Over the past couple of months, we’ve spoken with dozens of software companies to understand their challenges with on-prem deployments. We analyzed the internal tools they’ve built and the best practices from existing solutions, combining them into a prebuilt, Open Source solution that…

Hey HN, we're launching Outpost, an open-source, self-hostable component designed to handle outbound event delivery for SaaS/API platforms. If you're building a platform, you eventually need to send events to your users (think payment success, resource updates, workflow changes). Implementing this reliably—handling retries, monitoring, scaling, providing a decent dev experience for consumers, and managing tenants—becomes a significant, recurring engineering task that distracts from core product development. We built Outpost to offload that complexity. Outpost delivers events via…

As software engineers we are often confronted with the decision of whether to code something ourselves or to add an existing library that does it for us. Whether we like it or not – we are adding dependencies sooner or later. And it's arguably good practice to check a new dependency beforehand: Is it maintained? By whom? How many issues does it have and how many of those are bugs? Are they being fixed? What's on the roadmap? What's the release frequency and how often do APIs break? One of our favorite solutions that already exist to answer such questions is the OpenSSF Scorecard project…

Hey HN, we are building bumpgen (https://github.com/xeol-io/bumpgen/) to remove the toil of fixing breaking changes during version bumps. bumpgen bumps your npm package version then generates the fixes to potential breaking changes. There were some interesting challenges we encountered using an LLM to fix breaking changes: [1] Finding the breaking changes → know how is a dependency used through the codebase [2] Knowing how to fix the a breaking change → know how the dependency has changed from one version to another [3] Understanding how the fix has modified existing…

Trusty - Search for an open source package to understand its trustworthiness based on activity, provenance, and more. Brought to you by the founders of projects such as Kubernetes and Sigstore. Hey, Luke here the CTO of stacklok. This is an early experimental preview of Trusty. We use statistical analysis to observe millions of packages and found that Malware typically follows certain patterns. We found this tool really useful to help understand the packages we our pulling into our software and wanted to share it with others. It's still early in and we have a lot more features that will be…
