    A few months ago, I benchmarked FastAPI on an i9 MacBook Pro. I couldn't believe my eyes. A primary REST endpoint to `sum` two integers took 6 milliseconds to evaluate. It is okay if you are targeting a server in another city, but it should be less when your client and server apps are running on the same machine. FastAPI would have bottleneck-ed the inference of our lightweight UForm neural networks recently trending on HN under the title "Beating OpenAI CLIP with 100x less data and compute". (Thank you all for the kind words!) So I wrote another library. It has been a while since I have…

    Hello HN, I’ve always loved building frontend-only apps—those you can prototype over a weekend, host for free on GitHub Pages, and scale to millions of users. Unfortunately, AI-enabled apps complicate things, as exposing your OpenAI key to the world is obviously a no-go. This also means mobile developers often have to run their own servers. That’s why I built ServerlessAI, an API gateway that lets you securely call multiple AI providers directly from client side using OpenAI-compatible APIs. You can authenticate users through any identity provider, like Google or Apple, and set per-user…

    Hey HN, I'm Ivan - Founder of Vratix. I left my job 7 months ago to build tools that make backend development easier. I started with an open source library of reusable Express.js API modules that got some traction. After talking to a lot of developers, one thing became clear - backend has been somewhat ignored by the recent wave of AI coding tools. That’s why I decided to create an AI pair programmer built and designed specifically for backend engineers. I spent the last 2 months building Line0 and today I am opening up the public beta to the world. With Line0 you can get a working backend…
