I built a fuse box for microservices

In plain words

Openfuse is a centralized control plane for managing circuit breakers across distributed microservices. It solves the problem where individual service instances detect failures independently, causing some to trip their breakers while others continue hammering dead dependencies. Instead of per-instance circuit breaker libraries making isolated decisions, Openfuse aggregates failure metrics across an entire fleet, enabling coordinated protection. It is designed for teams running multiple instances of services across distributed systems who need their circuit breakers to communicate and respond together to upstream failures.

From the sources

One dashboard for every circuit breaker in your fleet. See what's degraded, override what's failing. No deploys, no PRs, no config files. Self-hosted or cloud.

Real-time visibility and control over every circuit breaker, from a single dashboard. One SDK call wraps your critical dependencies. Everything else is managed from the dashboard. $ npm install @openfuseio/sdk checkout.ts import { OpenfuseCloud } from '@openfuseio/sdk' ; const openfuse = new OpenfuseCloud (...); const customer = await openfuse. breaker ( 'stripe' ). protect ( () => stripe.customers. retrieve (customerId) // calls Stripe normally ); // See it break. Act before it spreads. stripe payments error rate 1% threshold breaker closed That's all the code you need. Thresholds, recovery, and sync are managed from dashboard. Read the SDK docs . See how your services degrade. Act before…from openfuse.io

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN! I'm Rodrigo, I run distributed systems across a few countries. I built Openfuse because of something that kept bugging me about how we all do circuit breakers. If you're running 20 instances of a service and Stripe starts returning 500s, each instance discovers that independently. Instance 1 trips its breaker…

  Socket – Secure your JavaScript supply chain2022 · socket.dev · ▲133

  Excited to share the project I've been working on for the past 7 months! We've seen nearly weekly attacks against the open source software supply chain. I saw the seeds of this trend start in the mid 2015s as an open source maintainer and I've watched it only get worse over the years. I finally decided to try to solve this problem. Socket is taking an entirely new approach to one of the hardest problems in security in a stagnant part of the industry that has historically been obsessed with just reporting on known vulnerabilities. Unlike other scanning tools, Socket actually analyzes the…

  Telebugs2025 · telebugs.com · ▲391

  Hey hackers! In January 2025, I started building Telebugs. It's an installable error tracker that works with Sentry SDKs. I come from a Rails background and previously worked at an error tracking/APM company, so I figured: why not build my own? I wanted a simple, reliable tool I could own outright, without surprise bills for overages. Telebugs is built with Rails 8, Hotwire, TailwindCSS, and SQLite. Like 37signals’ ONCE products (my inspiration), it’s pay-once: prep your hardware, run one command, and you’ll be up and running in 10 minutes (5 minutes refers to the actual installation…

  I made open source, zero power PCB hackathon badgesApr 2026 · github.com · ▲158

  I love getting cool swag from hackathons and I also love designing PCB's, so when my friend asked me if I would design hackathon badges for a large game jam in singapore, I was absolutely down! The theme of overglade was a "The game jam within a game", pretty cool concept right! High schoolers from around the world were flown out to the event by hackclub after they spent about 70 hours designing their own game. These badges needed to be really cheap and simple, because we were going to manufacture about a hundred in a pretty limited amount of time. I went with a zero-power approach, which…

  I spent 3 years reverse-engineering a 40 yo stock market sim from 1986▲721

  Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
