PicoMQ is a Rust server for Durable Streams, built on Object Store. Cheap, URL-addressable, granular streams (create/append/read/long-poll/SSE), with Pico Protocol or Durable Streams Protocol as the facade. S3Stream is the stream storage primitive, used in AutoMQ, shipped as a Rust library. Coordination is a command log in Postgres.

I'm excited to showcase Kreuzberg! Kreuzberg is a modern Python library built from the ground up with async/await, type hints, and optimized I/O handling. It provides a unified interface for extracting text from documents (PDFs, images, office files) without external API dependencies. Key technical features: - Built with modern Python best practices (async/await, type hints, functional-first) - Optimized async I/O with anyio for multi-loop compatibility - Smart worker process pool for CPU-bound tasks (OCR, doc conversion) - Efficient batch processing with concurrent…

I'm a software engineer who keeps getting pulled into DevOps no matter how hard I try to escape it. I recently moved into a Lead DevOps Engineer role writing tooling to automate a lot of the pain away. On my own time outside of work, I built Artifact Keeper — a self-hosted artifact registry that supports 45+ package formats. Security scanning, SSO, replication, WASM plugins — it's all in the MIT-licensed release. No enterprise tier. No feature gates. No surprise invoices. Your package managers — pip, npm, docker, cargo, helm, go, all of them — talk directly to it using their native…

A lightweight engine for durable execution / deterministic workflows I built with Rust, wasmtime and the WASM Component Model. Its main use is running reliable, long-running workflows that can automatically resume after failures. Looking for feedback on the approach and potential use cases!

I wrote a little LD_PRELOAD library that makes it easy to inspect and interact with a running program's glibc heap. It's fun to pause processes, free a bunch of their allocations, then resume them. Most of the time, the processes continue as though nothing happened, but sometimes they do interesting things :)

Today we're (@sprosvirnin and I) launching the first open-source release of IceGate - a Rust-native engine that stores logs (metrics and traces coming soon) in Apache Iceberg tables on your own object storage. Observability costs are out of control. Teams pay per GB ingested, get locked into proprietary formats, and can't use their own data outside the vendor's UI. We built the first observability data lake engine to fix this. This is our first release under Apache 2.0. We're building in the open and looking for contributors and early adopters who want observability without the markup. Star…

Hi HN, I built Ayder — a single-binary, HTTP-native durable event log written in C. The wedge is simple: curl is the client (no JVM, no ZooKeeper, no thick client libs). There’s a 2-minute demo that starts with an unclean SIGKILL, then restarts and verifies offsets + data are still there. Numbers (3-node Raft, real network, sync-majority writes, 64B payload): ~50K msg/s sustained (wrk2 @ 50K req/s), client P99 ~3.46ms. Crash recovery after SIGKILL is ~40–50s with ~8M offsets. Repo link has the video, benchmarks, and quick start. I’m looking for a few early design partners (any…

Hey, I'm a co-founder at ElectricSQL. Durable Streams is the delivery protocol underneath our Postgres sync engine—we've been refining it in production for 18 months. The core idea: streams get their own URL and use opaque, monotonic offsets. Clients persist the last offset they processed and resume with "give me everything after X." No server-side session state, CDN-cacheable, plain HTTP. We kept seeing teams reinvent this for AI token streaming and real-time apps, so we're standardizing it as a standalone protocol. The repo has a reference Node.js server and TypeScript client. Would love…
