    Hey HN, I'm Samuel, founder of Specfy. Very excited to be launching Specfy, an open source platform to improve the way we talk about infrastructure and technology inside our organizations (https://github.com/specfy/specfy). During my time at Algolia --and previous--, I often felt the communication around production, tech choices and infrastructure was messy at best. Trying to understand how various components came together across teams or sifting through documentation scattered everywhere left me thinking there had to be a better way. Almost nobody, from engineering to…

    I’ve been using deep research on OpenAI and Perplexity and it’s been just amazing at gathering data across a lot of related and chained searches. Just earlier today, I asked “What are some marquee tech companies / hot startups (not including the giants like FAAMG, Samsung, Nvidia etc.)”. It’s a pretty involved question and looking up “marquee tech startups” or "hot tech startups" on Google gave me nothing useful. Deep research on both ChatGPT and Perplexity gave really high quality responses with ChatGPT siding on slightly larger scaleups and Perplexity siding more on up and coming…

    Over the past few months, we've been building Prism; a fast, developer-first observability UI that's deeply integrated with our open-source database, Parseable. Prism is designed for engineers who debug distributed systems, sometimes at odd hours, and need answers right now, without having to deal with five different tools. Backstory: We spoke to dozens of observability practitioners in large enterprises. Across the board, we heard two things: (1)The RoI on observability tools is hard to justify. (2)OSS leads to tool sprawl, metrics in Grafana, logs in ELK, traces… somewhere. We wanted a…
