24 alternatives to Holori- Automated Terraform Diagrams in Pull Requests
Hey HackerNews community! We're Antoine, Emeric, and Alexandre, the minds behind Holori. In our past lives, we dove deep into documenting complex infrastructures across various cloud providers for the Aerospace and Medical industries. Compliance was crucial, but spending endless hours on Draw.io felt like a drain on our productivity. Realizing we weren't alone in this struggle, we set out to build a solution. Introducing Holori, a tool that automatically generates infrastructure diagrams from your Terraform files. The magic happens right in your GitHub Pull Requests – the diagrams are…

git-lrc▲300Hi HN, I'm the author of git-lrc, would appreciate some feedback from the community Last year my team started using AI coding tools more heavily, and we found ourselves generating tons of code, but spending less time looking at the stuff that's been generated. We felt like we were losing a bit of grip/understanding of what we were building. Regressions occasionally slipped through. Sometimes changes made it all the way to production only to be reverted later. We tried several AI code review tools, but most operate at PR time. That felt too late. I wanted review to happen while the…

Hi HN, I’ve been building this provider for (web managed) network switches manufactured by HRUI. These switches often used in SMBs, home labs, and by budget-conscious enthusiasts. Many HRUI switches are also rebranded and sold under various OEM/ODM names (eg. Horaco, XikeStor, keepLiNK, Sodola, etc) making them accessible/popular but often overlooked in the world of infrastructure automation. The provider is in pre-release, and I’m looking for owners of these switches to test it and share feedback. My goal is to make it easier to automate its config using Terraform/OpenTofu :)…

Viberia▲146Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

Hello Hacker News! We're Roxane, Julien, Pierre, Mawen and Stephane from Anyshift.io. We are building a GitHub app (and platform) that detects Terraform complex dependencies (hardcoded values, intricated-modules, shadow IT…), flags potential breakages, and provides a Terraform ‘Superplan’ for your changes. To do that we create and maintain a digital twin of your infrastructure using Neo4j. - 2 min demo : https://app.guideflow.com/player/dkd2en3t9r - try it now: https://app.anyshift.io/ (5min setup). We experienced how dealing with IaC/Terraform is…

Howdy all. I'm Zack :wave:. I've been thinking about the problem of misguided AI pull requests and figured I'd throw a possible solution out there for feedback. Basically, CleverCrow lets supporters give tokens to a GitHub repo (or set of issues in that repo) for the maintainers to use to build/fix stuff. The fun implementation challenges have been around implementing the pooling dynamics and keeping the maintainers in charge while the backers are motivated to support their work.

Hi HN, one of the founders here. We were thinking hard on what would lower the entry barrier / smoothen the learning curve for infrastructure. It's got to be easy to build so something visual probably; and it's got to be "real" so perhaps some kind of infra-as-code underneath. We experimented a lot with the low-code angle (the most recent OpsFlow which we got tons of feedback on from HN - thank you!!) And then it hit us. With python, there's a huge difference in ease of use between a Jupyter notebook and locally run python code, even though the code is the same. So we don't even need to…

Hi HN. My name is Andrey. On a regular business day, I'm a software engineer working at AWS. Outside of work hours, I spend time on my hobby - writing code. I was once building a pet project that allowed customers to spin up fully synchronized blockchain nodes within just a few minutes. The backend was split into a control plane and a data plane, each with its own AWS account. Later I added two more AWS accounts. One for shared RPC nodes. One for the Analytics Service. Since I love to visualize things, I used drawio to visualize the architecture. With time, I noticed a pattern. I'd write…

Hey, I'm Nenad. I built Grafly (https://grafly.io) because I kept reaching for different tools just to sketch out a quick architecture diagram and hating either the UI, color schemes, usage patterns or that I had to log in, or have my doodles stored on someone's server. It's a React/React Flow app that runs entirely in the browser meaning that everything saves to localStorage, nothing leaves your machine. You get basic shapes, AWS/GCP icons, edges with waypoints and shareable URLs that encode the whole diagram in the query string (no backend, just LZ compression). There…
