    ByteNite▲206

    Hi HN, I’m one of the creators of ByteNite (https://bytenite.com). We built it for developers running compute-heavy containerized workloads (AI, ETL, batch jobs) who are frustrated with the limitations of traditional serverless platforms: timeouts, cold starts, orchestration complexity, and limited runtime control. ByteNite is a serverless platform that lets you submit distributed jobs packaged as Docker containers. You define simple or complex fan-out/fan-in logic, set your hardware requirements, and we handle the rest—distributing execution across warm cloud runners (CPUs,…

    https://www.manning.com/books/data-oriented-programming-in-j... This book is a distillation of everything I’ve learned about what effective development looks like in Java (so far!). It's about how to organize programs around data "as plain data" and the surprisingly benefits that emerge when we do. Programs that are built around the data they manage tend to be simpler, smaller, and significantly easier understand. Java has changed radically over the last several years. It has picked up all kinds of new language features which support data oriented programming (records,…

    I had already posted the project a couple of years ago, and it gained some interest, but a lot of stuff has been done since then, especially regarding performance, a completely new JSON store, a REST API, various internals refactored, an improved JSONiq based query engine allowing updates, implementing set-oriented join optimizations, a now already dated web UI, a new Kotlin based CLI, a Python and TypeScript client to ease the use of Sirix... First prototypes from a precursor stem already from 2005. So, what is it all about? The system uses ideas from ZFS (a keyed index trie, storing…

    We started CallFS after yet another late-night “why did the uploads vanish?” incident. Our small team had stitched together rsync, a fragile NFS mount, and an S3 bucket—none of it observable, all of it waiting to bite us. So we wrote a single-process file service in Go that: • Speaks the S3 API (so existing tooling works). • Stores hot data on local disks for speed; cold data can sit in any S3-compatible bucket. • Exposes Prometheus metrics and JSON logs by default, because “what happened?” shouldn’t be guesswork. • Ships as a ~25 MB static binary—no external deps, MIT license. Today it’s…

    Hey everyone, I’m Hunter, the founder of Archil. Archil is transforming object storage, like Amazon S3, into infinite, local file systems that provide instant access to massive data sets. Last year, we launched Archil’s NFS-based product publicly on Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42174204), and we were absolutely thrilled to see the response of this community. Since our last launch, we took a 10 month company-wide bet to build our own, custom storage protocol to deliver true, local-like performance to cloud instances – by behaving closer to a block storage…

    I've already posted yesterday, but I'd really love to get comments, any kind of questions, suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated as it's an Open Source project of mine (and was for others during my studies at the University of Konstanz 6 years ago). Since then I spent countless ours to bring forth the idea of a versioned storage system, especially well suited for analytical tasks for timd-varying data. Especially I'd love to discuss what documentation you need, which next steps are necessary (JSON, Cloud...), API additions or changes... I've updated the README quiet a bit, such…
