ImpactGuard
Detect the blast radius of API changes before you merge
What it does
ImpactGuard is a software that analyzes changes to APIs in various programming languages (Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Kotlin, C, C++, C#, Go, Rust, Swift, Ruby, Haskell, and Zig). It also calculates the risk of breaking existing code before merging, using a Severity × Exposure × Confidence (S×E×C) score. It integrates with CI/CD (Git hooks and GitHub workflows). It automatically blocks high-risk changes, it can suggest patches.

- WRWe’re open-sourcing our session replay tool2023 · github.com · ▲408
Hey HN! We’re open-sourcing highlight.io (https://github.com/highlight/highlight), a session replay and error monitoring tool. Highlight.io gives you a high-precision video-like replay of what users are doing when an error or exception occurs in your web app, along with a full-fledged error monitoring experience (similar to bugsnag, rollbar, etc..). The main value prop of highlight.io is that we help you understand the full context surrounding an error and allow you to drill down to the code path that a user invoked (i.e user clicked button X, sent network request Y, and…
- AOAn open source performance monitoring tool2024 · github.com · ▲135
Hey HN. We’re Jay and Vadim from Highlight.io (https://highlight.io). We’re building an open source [1] monitoring platform for web applications. Today we’re excited to be sharing a performance tool we’ve been working on, which helps you inspect the latency of code execution from the client to the server. As engineers at past startups, we often had to debug slow queries, poor load times, inconsistent errors, etc... While tools like Jaegar [2] helped us inspect server-side performance, we had no way to tie user events to the traces we were inspecting. In other words, although we had…
- ULUsing LLMs and Embeddings to classify application errors2023 · github.com · ▲65
Hi Hacker News! We’re Vadim and Chris from Highlight.io [1]. We do web app monitoring and are working on using LLMs/embeddings to add new functionality to our error monitoring product. Given that there’s a lot of founders/engineers using LLMs in their products, we figured we’d share how we built the new functionality, their impact on our workflows, and how you can try it out. Our goal was to build two features: (1) tagging errors (e.g. deeming an error as “authentication error” or a “database error”); and (2) grouping similar errors together (e.g. two errors that have a different…
- MAModguard – a lightweight Python tool for enforcing modular design2024 · github.com · ▲10
Hi HN! We are excited to show you modguard - a Python tool we built to enforce a modular, decoupled package architecture. We built modguard to solve a recurring problem that we've experienced on software teams - code sprawl. Over time, cross-module imports would tightly couple together what used to be independent domains, and eventually create "balls of mud". This made it harder to test, and harder to make changes. Mis-use of modules which were intended to be private would then degrade performance and even cause security incidents. This would happen for a variety of reasons: - Junior…

Parallel agents, diff reviewer, and multi-model comparisons

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
