Products that do what Configu – OSS project that puts an end to your configuration headaches does
Hi HN, this is Peleg from Configu. We have open-sourced Configu (https://github.com/configu/configu). It’s a simple yet powerful tool designed to manage application configurations (env vars, secrets, feature flags, and more) at scale across environments – from code to runtime – by providing configuration orchestration along with a Configuration-as-Code (CaC) approach. You can easily sync and connect it to any configuration store you use (files in git repo, secret managers, feature flags, databases, etc.) and Configu Orchestrator provides a unified interface that rules…

Last month, we open-sourced Infisical (https://github.com/Infisical/infisical) - a simple, end-to-end encrypted tool to sync environment variables across your team and infrastructure. You can use it to store environment variables and inject them into your applications locally or into CI/CD and production infrastructure. It can be used with any language/framework and is platform independent with a super easy setup. We know secret managers exist but, in our experience, they’re too complicated, not comprehensive, not user-friendly, or a mix of all three — other…

Hey all, I'm the founder of Flipt, an open-source (https://github.com/flipt-io/flipt) feature flag tool that I (and others) have been working on for the past few years. About a year or two ago we added support for serving flag state from various non-relational declarative stores like Git, OCI, Object Store, etc. Many of our users came to love the git-backed storage, as it allows them to keep their feature flags close to their code in there organization's repos. But they had one (rather large) ask, and that was the ability to use the UI to manage flag state changes and…

Finally open sourced an internal tool we've been using for managing secrets. It's similar to SOPS, but more opinionated, easier to configure/use correctly, and produces nicer git diffs. It also supports one-way encryption, so you don't have to know the private key to add secrets.

Move dotfiles to ~/.config/lnk, get symlinks back, use Git normally. Single binary, no config files, no fluff. Built because chezmoi was too complex and plain Git was too manual.

Why? - Decouple application deployment from releases How it works: - Make changes to your features and segments (YAMLs) via Pull Requests - Generate datafile (JSON file) in CI/CD workflow and upload to your CDN - Fetch datafile in your application runtime and consume with SDKs Supports: - Feature flags: boolean flags - Experimentation: a/b tests - Segments: targeting traffic with conditions - Variables: namespaced under each feature and conditional - Gradual rollouts: avoid big bang releases, go from 0% to 100% - Consistent bucketing: same user sees same variation - Multiple…

Hey HN! We’re Jai and Sanket, co-founders of DeepSource (YC W20). We're open-sourcing Globstar (https://github.com/DeepSourceCorp/globstar), a static analysis toolkit that lets you easily write and run custom code quality and security checkers in YAML [1] or Go [2]. After 5+ years of building AST-based static analyzers that process millions of lines of code daily at DeepSource, we kept hearing a common request from customers: "How do we write custom checks specific to our codebase?" AppSec and DevOps teams have a lot of learned anti-patterns and security rules they want…

Hey HN, We wanted a simple way to update application configs, without redeploying. We wanted to remotely set variables, and read them in our application. We created Varse to do this. Varse has a dashboard for creating key - value pairs and an SDK to read them. It's un-opinionated and allows for strings, booleans, or even json objects to be stored. We have instructions for running it yourself. We also have a hosted version where you can create an account and manage variables. This is our first time building an open source project. We'd love feedback on how to do it right. Github:…
