    Hi HN. I'm Carl, creator of LavinMQ. LavinMQ is an open-source message broker. AMQP 0-9-1, MQTT, HTTP and streaming. Single binary, minimal resource use. If you know RabbitMQ, it's that (but running on a fraction of hardware). We're the team behind CloudAMQP where we've hosted RabbitMQ for 14 years. Sometimes customers hit issues we couldn't fully explain / work around. So we built our own broker, in order to provide solutions where we previously couldn't (which is much easier when you control the full stack). It all started by me building an open-source AMQP proxy to handle short-lived…

    Hey HN, we’re Robert, Din and Temirlan from Laminar (https://www.lmnr.ai), an open-source observability and analytics platform for complex LLM apps. It’s designed to be fast, reliable, and scalable. The stack is RabbitMQ for message queues, Postgres for storage, Clickhouse for analytics, Qdrant for semantic search - all powered by Rust. How is Laminar different from the swarm of other “LLM observability” platforms? On the observability part, we’re focused on handling full execution traces, not just LLM calls. We built a Rust ingestor for OpenTelemetry (Otel) spans with GenAI…

    LLM Gatewayfree tier▲296

    I built an OpenAI-compatible LLM gateway that routes requests to OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, vLLM, llama-server, SGLang... anything that speaks /v1/chat/completions. Single Go binary, one YAML config file, no infrastructure. It does the things you'd expect from this kind of gateway... semantic routing via a three-layer cascade (keyword heuristics, embedding similarity, LLM classifier) that picks the best model when clients omit the model field, weighted round-robin load balancing across local inference servers with health checks and failover. The part I think is most…

    Hello, everyone. Three months ago, I started building my first GoLang package, VarMQ. In this short period, I gained a significant amount of traction from the community, and it resulted in over 140 stars on GitHub. A week ago, to check how it performs, I ran benchmarks with a similar package, Pond, which has been managed for years. Pond is not a message queue, though; however, it can be compared to VarmQ since it shares some similarities, except for its storage system. From the benchmarks, I got surprising results, which are that Varmq is taking 50%+ less memory than Pond and also has good…
