Products that do what We Built and Open Sourced a Feature Flagging Platform does
Hi. We just open sourced Bullet Train, a Feature Flag and Remote Config platform. It's a collection of tools: server API, admin front end and clients for a bunch of different platforms. Together they allow you to control feature flags and remote config across projects, environments and users. We realised that we were building ad-hoc feature flag stuff into individual projects over and over, so we had a look around to see if there was a way of doing this in a more formal manner. There are a few commercial solutions around but they were quite expensive and seemed to be aimed more at the…

Hello everyone! To briefly introduce myself, I'm mainly a backend developer, working in the industry for the past 7 years. On one of the products I was working on we were heavily using a custom feature flagging system. Basically, any functionality we were building was starting with a new feature flag. It was useful because: 1. We were able to silently deploy a feature to production for real environment testing 2. We would enable feature flag for specific users across our team, like marketing, sales, so everyone can check it out, test and prepare for the release 3. We were restricting certain…

Hey everyone, Here is a link to the first version of an on-premise feature flag/toggle system, made with GO, that I developed at the company I'm working at (MEDIGO). It allows you to isolate features within your projects, and enable/disable them in multiple environments with a simple click in a dashboard. For instance if you just developed a new feature and you want to enable it on the testing environment, all you have to do is go to Laika's web page and activate the flag for the feature on this environment. Or if a bug is spotted on a feature already in production, disabling is…

I've always dreamed about a project like that when looking at status boards at other companies. We finally had the time to do our own. Here are some photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/robert_olejnik/sets/72157633736087905/ The stack: Django, mustache.js, Chart.js, Bootstrap and custom Supybot plugin. Maybe will be inspiration for someone else ;-) Do you guys have similar status boards? Cheers, Robert.

Hello Hacker News, this is Ashish. We started building Stackdome in 2024 as a hobby project. The idea was to package the tooling in the CNCF/cloud-native ecosystem into an opinionated platform, so that developers can get a well engineered platform without learning Kubernetes YAMLology or a dozen other projects from the CNCF landscape. Railway and Render did this well for their hosted products. I wanted to bring that level of polish and DX to something you can self-host. Stackdome uses Kubernetes underneath, but it's completely transparent to users. (I have some ideas for an expert mode…

My name is Elliott. For the last three years, I’ve been building a DevOps platform on the best-in-class open source platforms (Kubernetes, Elixir, PostgreSQL, Grafana, etc.). The goal is to give engineering teams access to a modern DevOps infrastructure without needing to have a full SRE/DevOps team dedicated. It’s also open source /fair source - all the source code is here → https://github.com/batteries-included/batteries-included I shipped a public beta today and would love to hear initial reactions, thoughts, and feedback. Here are details of the platform: *…

Hello people of HN and fellow SREs! Over the past year, we have been building Aperture - an open-source flow control and reliability platform for cloud applications. Over the past few years, companies like LinkedIn[1], Google [2], Netflix [3], Stripe [4] have built cutting-edge flow control technologies to keep their applications reliable. Flow control is powerful because it enables graceful degradation- the ability to preserve key user experience pathways, even in the face of application failures. With Aperture project, we hope to democratize building reliable applications with effective…

Hi HN, I'm the CEO at https://replay.io. We've been working on time travel debugging for web development for a while (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28539247) and more recently an AI app builder that uses that debugger to get past problems instead of spinning in circles (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43258585). We've gotten to where we can pretty easily build apps to replace business-critical SaaS tools, some of which we're now using internally: * We built our own issue tracker to keep track of all our development projects, tickets, bug…

Hello HN! I got pretty overwhelmed with Notion, Trello, etc. (Even though they are great tools!) as an indie dev, so I built an app that is simpler to use and perfectly suited for an indie like me :) You can basically divide your projects into multiple milestones (a milestone could be e.g. a new version), and the milestones can have multiple tasks that are either todo, in progress, or done. The progress for each milestone is calculated with those tasks, and you can also prioritize and categorize the tasks using tags (E.g. for me, #ph turns into "High Priority", and #pm into "Medium…

Hello HN. I'm Maxime, founder at LimaCharlie (https://limacharlie.io), a Hyperscaler for SecOps (access building blocks you need to build security operations, like AWS does for IT). We’ve engineered a new product on our platform that solves a timely issue acting as a guardrail between your AI and the world: Viberails (https://www.viberails.io) This won't be new to folks here, but we identified 4 challenges teams face right now with AI tools: 1. Auditing what the tools are doing. 2. Controlling toolcalls (and their impact on the world). 3. Centralized management. 4. Easy…

Hi HN, Martin, Nils, and Jannes here. We are building Legit, an open source version control and collaboration layer for AI agents and AI native applications. You can find the repo here https://github.com/Legit-Control/monorepo and the website here https://legitcontrol.com Over the last years, we worked on multiple developer tools and AI driven products. As soon as we started letting agents modify real files and business critical data, one problem kept showing up. We could not reliably answer what changed, why it changed, or how to safely undo it. Today, most AI…

Hello! I'm working on building out graph-based tools for humans! Our first offering is a public tracker view, similar to the tracker provided by pizza companies in the US! The goal is to enable companies to reduce status emails and build brand trust! TurboOps are built on "workflows" which are just DAGs. We have a lot more plan but are focused on makers right now! It's free to get started and to try it out, and build public graphs! I'd really appreciate your thoughts, impressions, and/or criticisms. Thank you! [email protected]

I got sick of: - Re-writing the same Terraform for the same common AWS infrastructure - Re-writing the same Rails code to build the same webapp - Re-configuring the same monitoring systems & CI/CD pipelines - Spending a week in dependency & configuration hell wiring it all together When I was launching my first two startups, I wished I had a strong starting point with all of the best practices & technology configured out-of-the-box. Every tool I found wanted to lock me in to some PaaS provider (that might not even exist in a year) who wanted to take a premium on my infrastructure spend…

Hey HN: Kaveh here, founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We help companies drive down AWS, GCP, and Azure spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain. DevOps and Software Engineers end up spending time managing costs rather than focusing on business problems. I have been building Usage AI for almost 4 years now (4 year anniversary in 1 month from now!) with an incredible group of founding people. We started as a product just to help lower AWS EC2 costs, and now we do all major AWS services (such as RDS, OpenSearch, ElastiCache, and Redshift with more on the way) and other…

Hey HN! First post btw I want to share a product we are developing right now. It's a thing to gather your data from LinkedIn, GitHub, StackOverflow (and a couple more things in the future) and we obviously use LLMs under the hood :D So the idea of using it is that you don't need to share 69 links and docs and can use one link (or download PDF) now. When you connect all the stuff you will see your profile with a radar chart, which represents your "domains". The next thing will be a section with ai-generated-summary-bio + section with things you're open to. Then a section with work experience…
