I've already posted yesterday, but I'd really love to get comments, any kind of questions, suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated as it's an Open Source project of mine (and was for others during my studies at the University of Konstanz 6 years ago). Since then I spent countless ours to bring forth the idea of a versioned storage system, especially well suited for analytical tasks for timd-varying data. Especially I'd love to discuss what documentation you need, which next steps are necessary (JSON, Cloud...), API additions or changes... I've updated the README quiet a bit, such…

Hey HN: I'm Kaveh, the founder of Usage (https://www.usage.ai/) We help companies drive down AWS costs. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. Stakeholders, especially engineers, are required to spend unnecessary time manually finding underutilized or overly expensive EC2s. We believe the optimization process should be done automatically through a series of sophisticated algorithms. At the moment, there are over 70,000 AWS EC2 prices - doing that manually just won't scale at most organizations. My background is in software engineering. Previous to founding Usage, I…

So a while ago I was thinking it would be neat to build a site that had the most absolute utility. The idea I came up with was a site to store those little protips that are super useful, if you know them ahead of time. I hired a guy to work on it with me, and ClueDB was born: http://cluedb.com/ Please give it a whirl (it uses Twitter auth as login but doesn't tweet anything) and tell me what you think! (Various trivia: My first try at a project coded by someone else and "product managed" by me. Runs on Flask + MongoDB. Also, this is totally unrelated to my startup.)

Hi everyone, I've been working on a side project over quarantine called Usage.ai and I finally feel comfortable enough to launch it. We're a service that plugs directly into AWS, automatically finds savings, and applies those savings at the press of a confirmation button all without ever needing to go to an AWS console. I'd love to get HN's thoughts on it! Demo: https://www.loom.com/share/2a6f1c8e4c214914a1cdd88c6fdec4ac Link: https://www.usage.ai/

Dear startups, We've recently launched our service that helps deploy capacity across AWS EC2 spot to provide high availability and up to 90% discount on compute. Magic happens by us predicting spot prices and distributing capacity across dozens of uncorrelated Spot auctions to limit exposure to possible price spikes. As serial entrepreneurs we know first hand how important it is to iterate quickly and reducing the compute cost is one of the ways to approach it. If your company's AWS bill is significant (>$10k/month) and you have an interesting use case that we can discuss - we'd be…

Hey everyone! It’s a single executable that you can run on your server using Docker, Systemd, or any other tool you prefer. It provides a simple user-friendly interface to manage all your SQLite databases. Inspired by PhpLiteAdmin, it features a snappy UI and offers power-user functionalities, ability to chat with your database using natural language via OpenAI api, and other features. It’s free to use, with an option for a one-time payment to unlock all features. You can find the demo at https://demo.litequeen.com/ It's early and there's much to add. Some features I think…

Hi, everyone. I got big flood last week. Weather was crazy and water got to my company warehouse. Luckily company local server was not in that room. Of course I was to lazy to set up any automatic off site db backup. But now I got it working. I wanna hear you thought? Is it smart to use email for db backup or should I just upload it to remote server? For those lazy like me, try to setup this app and give it a go.

Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We launched a new free tool to help engineers understand their AWS spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up end up becoming cloud accountants or end up forking over a big % of their AWS bill for a tool to understand costs rather than focusing on business problems. Previous to founding Usage, I worked on high-performance computing research at JP Morgan Chase and as a software engineer at a number of smaller startups. Here's how this new tool works: It's fully self-serve and…

At Arcesium, we needed a way to run SQL-driven CRUD operations, manage slowly-changing dimensions, and handle schema evolution on our cloud data lakes—without the overhead of spinning up distributed clusters or relying on vendor-managed query services. That’s why we built SwiftLake, a lightweight open-source library that brings Apache Iceberg and DuckDB together: - Lightweight & cluster-free: Runs as a single Java service with embedded DuckDB—no distributed infra required. - Full CRUD and SCD1/SCD2 support: Reads, inserts/appends, updates, deletes, and merges with ACID guarantees.…
