24 alternatives to Rethinking audit trails in Django (structured and database-free)
We were using django-easy-audit to track CRUD and API events in Django. The problem: every action meant an extra database write, which slowed transactions, increased infra costs, and left us with audit tables that weren’t great for analytics. I built django-activity-audit (PyPI) to fix this: - Extends Django’s logging system with custom AUDIT and API levels. - Captures CRUD + API request/response events as structured JSON logs. - Vector tails the logs and ships them into ClickHouse. - Grafana makes them queryable and visual. This removes the extra DB writes, gives structured data ready…

I started using Claude Code (claude --dangerously-skip-permissions) and Codex (codex --yolo) and realized I had no reliable way to know what they actually did. The agent's own output tells you a story, but it's the agent's story. logira records exec, file, and network events at the OS level via eBPF, scoped per run. Events are saved locally in JSONL and SQLite. It ships with default detection rules for credential access, persistence changes, suspicious exec patterns, and more. Observe-only – it never blocks. https://github.com/melonattacker/logira

Hi HN! I built Oxyde because I was tired of duplicating my models. If you use FastAPI, you know the drill. You define Pydantic models for your API, then define separate ORM models for your database, then write converters between them. SQLModel tries to fix this but it's still SQLAlchemy underneath. Tortoise gives you a nice Django-style API but its own model system. Django ORM is great but welded to the framework. I wanted something simple: your Pydantic model IS your database model. One class, full validation on input and output, native type hints, zero duplication. The query API is…

Hey HN! I’m Karan, creator of Logchef (https://logchef.app), an open-source log viewer built specifically for exploring logs stored in ClickHouse. This tool grew directly out of my $day job managing massive log volumes. Like many orgs, we migrated our log workloads to ClickHouse for its performance, but found the ecosystem lacked dedicated UI tooling for actually browsing and analyzing those logs effectively. We were using Metabase, and while great for general BI, it wasn't designed for log exploration workflows. Common pain points included: - Clunky Ad-hoc Querying:…
