    I built a tool called *Kekkai* for file integrity monitoring in production environments. It records file hashes during deployment and later verifies them to detect unauthorized modifications (e.g. from OS command injection or tampering). Why it matters: * Many web apps (PHP, Ruby, Python, etc.) on AWS EC2 need a lightweight way to confirm their code hasn’t been changed. * Traditional approaches that rely on metadata often create false positives. * Kekkai checks only file content, so it reliably detects real changes. * I’ve deployed it to an EC2 PHP application in production, and it’s working…

    Hey HN - our team wants to open source a project called NASTY (NASTY Abstract Syntax Tree thingY) that we built for ourselves. NASTY was built to maintain testable/composable data pipelines. Our team was ripping our hair out trying to maintain dbt/SQL scripts across different data warehouses (Redshift, BigQuery, Postgres, Snowflake) on top of ever shifting data foundations maintained by our customer's internal data teams. NASTY is the result of our learnings from field experience. We wanted to write abstractions so that we could reuse code. We wanted to bundle those abstractions…

    Hi HN, My background is on datascience and I thought during the last few weeks on how to turn the data into commodity problem: Getting any meaningful out of data can be erroneous, time-consuming and includes repeatable processing work (and it is done over and over again). Im trying to mitigate this by harmonizing data, so it is ready for being consumed via an API or Spreadsheet. After a few iterations I ended up with this prototype that I wanted to share with you. Please notice, that this is an early prototype and not a finalized product yet. Im also delighted to know your opinions or…

    Hey HN, Data quality matters more than ever. Our world increasingly relies on AI and proprietary datasets to fine-tune models. But as many of us know, garbage in often results in garbage out. Bad data can cost millions, especially when it informs important decisions like public health policy or interest rate hedging. Today’s data engineers need a flexible, secure, and performant data quality toolkit designed for the modern workflow. But current solutions were built a decade ago and don't support big data technologies, such as Spark. This is why we're building Spotlight - the data quality…
