Products that do what Pipetrics – platform for GitHub Actions performance tracking does
I worked as DevOps Engineer at multiple companies of different sizes and almost everywhere at some point I had to work with CI/CD optimizations to make developers life better. The key problem I had was tracking down which pipeline was the problematic one and how could I see if my changes worked long-term. Some time ago I built first version of Pipetrics based on typescript, github action cron job and mongodb used as datasource in Grafana. This approach had a lot of limitations, especially in Grafana integration, thus I decided to rework the project and make it available to everyone as…

Hey HN, I just released github-actions-workflow-ts, an NPM package that allows you to write GitHub Actions workflows in Typescript rather than YAML. The package then generates GH Actions workflow YAML files from your Typescript code. Why? - Type safety - Code re-usability: package and reuse common jobs and steps across different workflows. - Imperative edge: Utilize control flow to control the generation of different kinds of workflows easily. Essentially, I realized that as I write larger and more complicated GH Actions workflows in YAML, they become less readable and thus more prone to…

A few weeks ago I got rejected from a role and the feedback was that I needed a deeper understanding of FAISS and LlamaIndex. So I built triage.flow — an AI assistant that lets you explore and understand GitHub repositories through a chat interface. It clones a repo, indexes it using FAISS + BM25 + tree-sitter parsing, and powers a full UI where you can: - Ask natural-language questions like “how does auth work?” or “explain @src/components/Modal.tsx” - Mention specific files/folders with @filename.ts (autocomplete supported) - See how the agent thinks in real time (Thought →…

Hey HN, BuildJet makes GitHub Actions faster, by running the workflows on our Gaming CPU cloud. You still get to keep everything GitHub Actions, we simply replace the underlying GitHub Actions runner with our Gaming CPUs. All you do is change 1 line, and get 2x faster and cheaper builds. GitHub Action is very slow - Developers are wasting their time – Waiting for GitHub Actions to give you a green checkbox on PR, is very wasteful and extremely tedious. - GitHub Actions runner hardware is old and slow – GitHub Actions use old and slow machines from Azure. Some of your workflows run on servers…

Hi HN, I'm a creator of Floww, a self-hostable workflow automation tool designed for developers who got frustrated by the limitations of visual builders like n8n. It's still a very early prototype, but the goal is to provide these same features in a code-first approach which allows for building and maintaining more complex workflows more easily. Example: import { Discord, GitHub } from "floww"; const discord = new Discord() const github = new GitHub() github.triggers.onPush({ branch: "main", owner: "usefloww", repository: "floww-dashboard", handler: async (ctx, event) => { const user =…

I’ve built Poe, a GitHub app that automates versioning for you, moving from deployments to publishing in different release channels, which you can subscribe to through your CI and deploy to any environment you desire. I’ve built an experimental UI to collaborate on release notes and configure various settings, leading to a SaaS. How to use: 1. Install the following GitHub App on a repository. 2. Make a commit on the default branch (main/master), and you will start the release process (tagging the current version, promoting to the next channel, generating the changelog). The github app:…

I spend a lot of my time writing GitHub Actions. Specifically, I need to script a ton of things. The current way of writing GitHub Actions with YAML is usually fine for small jobs. But for anything complicated, I often find myself in incredibly cursed "shell-in-YAML" situations. This was a major source of bugs for me. Since the "script" was written in YAML, there was actually not an easy way to modularize out the scripting logic to unit test them. Worse, there was zero type safety! For those who work with GitHub Actions frequently, you know how annoying this gets. My ideal GitHub Actions…

Caribou helps software teams manage long-term technical migrations in their projects. For example migrating from one networking library to another or migrating a codebase from one architecture pattern to another. These changes usually happen over a span of a few months and without any tooling, they can be difficult to manage. It’s difficult to understand how much progress has been made, what is still left to do and who are the engineers helping move the migration forward. Caribou was built to solve these problems. So how does it work? In simple terms, Caribou is a Github application which,…

Hi, HN! I've been running GitHub Actions workflows for a while, and when GitHub announced ubuntu-slim runners as a cheaper alternative to ubuntu-latest, I wanted to migrate. (Blog: https://github.blog/changelog/2025-10-28-1-vcpu-linux-runner...) But manually checking which workflows can safely migrate is tedious—you need to check for Docker usage, services, containers, execution times, and missing commands. So I built gh-slimify, a GitHub CLI extension that automates this. It scans your workflows, detects migration candidates, checks for incompatible patterns, identifies…
