I built a serverless data API builder – no storage, low latency

Hey HN, I'm Bo, cofounder of Fleak.ai. Over the past several months, our team has been hard at work developing Fleak, a data API backend builder, and we would love your feedback on what we've built so far. What Fleak Does: Fleak simplifies the process of building and deploying API backends. It features a no-code IDE UI that lets you create workflows by chaining together steps such as native SQL transformations, calling LLM models, AWS Lambda functions, and more. With a single click, you can deploy these workflows to a production endpoint (during test, we are able to handle 5000 QPS without…

In plain words

Fleak.ai is a serverless data API backend builder that uses a no-code IDE to let users create workflows by chaining SQL transformations, LLM models, AWS Lambda functions, and other steps. Users can deploy these workflows to production endpoints with a single click, handling high throughput without requiring storage infrastructure or cluster configuration. It is designed for developers who want to build and deploy API backends quickly without managing underlying infrastructure.

    Hey HN! We built Notte, a browser infrastructure and agents platform. Many of our users automate UI workflows or extract data from sites that don’t have APIs. In practice, we noticed that once an agent understands how a site works, parts of the task can often run without a browser by interacting with the same network requests the site uses. So we built Anything API: describe a browser task, and our agent explores the site, builds a function, tests it against your description, and deploys a callable REST endpoint. No infra to manage. How the build works: - Describe the task (best results come…

  • ServerlessAI – Build, scale, and monetize AI apps without back end2024 · serverlessai.dev · ▲86

    Hello HN, I’ve always loved building frontend-only apps—those you can prototype over a weekend, host for free on GitHub Pages, and scale to millions of users. Unfortunately, AI-enabled apps complicate things, as exposing your OpenAI key to the world is obviously a no-go. This also means mobile developers often have to run their own servers. That’s why I built ServerlessAI, an API gateway that lets you securely call multiple AI providers directly from client side using OpenAI-compatible APIs. You can authenticate users through any identity provider, like Google or Apple, and set per-user…

  • Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
