Products that do what Telescope now queries Kubernetes logs directly does
Telescope originally started as a ClickHouse-focused log viewer. But while building it, I kept running into the same pattern: when everything worked, logs were in ClickHouse. When things broke, logs were still inside Kubernetes. That gap led to adding Kubernetes as a native log source. This is not meant to replace proper log aggregation. Centralized storage with indexing and retention policies is still the right approach for production. But there are situations where aggregation doesn't help: the logging pipeline is broken, logs are delayed, or you're debugging locally and don't have a…

Hey HN We’ve been building Logdash as a lightweight observability tool for side projects and prototypes. Most logging/metrics tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK...) are amazing, but feel like overkill when you're just hacking on something small. Logdash gives you: - Real-time logs and custom metrics - Zero config (no YAML, no setup) - One tiny SDK to drop in - Hosted UI with live dashboards We use Logdash to monitor Logdash — our own prod dashboard is public here: https://logdash.io/demo-dashboard Would love feedback, ideas, or questions!

Hi HN! I’m Zach, co-founder / CTO of Platform Engineering Labs. We’re building formae, an open-source IaC system that stays in sync with real infrastructure instead of relying on manually maintained state and drift detection. We’ve just shipped Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform .tfvars support. The goal with this release was simple: make it easy to start using formae with infrastructure people already have. formae can now discover existing k8s workloads automatically and the ability to utilize existing Helm charts. Coming from Terraform / OpenTofu and already have variable…

Hello HN! My name is Rémy and I recently published an astronomy dashboard where everything is open source: the code of the website, the framework it is based on and the library that computes astronomical data. For the last few years, I have been developing the Ruby library Astronoby (https://github.com/rhannequin/astronoby) with as much dedication and perseverance I could while I don't have any scientific academic background. My end goal was to use this library and build a website that not only provides as much data as possible, but let anyone access and understand how it…

WebAssembly makes it possible to run serious computation in browsers. I wanted to see if we could treat browsers as Kubernetes workers. Kuack is a Virtual Kubelet provider that schedules Kubernetes workloads to browser tabs. Visitors' browsers connect, report capacity, and become ephemeral workers. It looks like a regular Kubernetes node - same kubectl commands, same OCI images, same workflows. The difference is that pods execute in browsers instead of servers. With multi-platform OCI images, Kubernetes can fall back to regular nodes if no agents are available. It's designed for short-lived,…

Hello HN, I’m excited to share something we’ve been working on: Cloud Troubleshooting Labs. This tool provides on-demand environments for engineers to practice hands-on troubleshooting with AWS, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes. What it does: We use Pulumi to spin up these environments. Each scenario includes a diagram and an explanation of the available IT infrastructure. Engineers are tasked with fixing configuration issues to make the application work. Depending on the test type, the environment could range from a simple terminal to a full cloud environment or a web-based VSCode. Many of our…

Hi HN, Shawn here. My rooftop system lost about half a year of production and nobody told me. Not the installer, not the monitoring app, not the utility. I found out from an electric bill that made no sense, then spent weeks digging through the monitoring portal by hand. SunRanker is what I wished existed that day. Connect a system once (Enphase OAuth, or a SolarEdge site ID plus API key) and it reads production daily, shows it in plain language, and emails you when something actually changes. Three alerts only. The connection broke, the monitoring went quiet, or output has been well below…
