Karrio – Open-Source Multi-Carrier Shipping API

Hey HN! Daniel and Delali here; we are working on Karrio, an open-source shipping infrastructure. Our focus is on making it easy to integrate shipping into platforms. With Karrio’s open-source and universal shipping API, you can set up connections to a worldwide network of shipping carriers for national, international and last-mile services but also build your own network of local carriers. You can seamlessly add built-in shipping functionalities to your platform, enabling users to fetch live rates, buy labels, track packages, and more. You can check out our Github repo here:…

In plain words

Karrio is an open-source shipping API that enables developers to integrate shipping functionality into platforms. It provides connections to a global network of carriers for national, international, and last-mile delivery, while also supporting custom local carrier networks. Users can fetch live rates, purchase shipping labels, and track packages through a universal API. The platform serves as an alternative to building shipping systems in-house or relying on proprietary SaaS solutions.

    A large part of our (Real Kinetic's) business is helping organizations implement platform engineering, but we've found the existing tooling to be lacking. For IaC, Terraform state becomes a pain because TF treats infrastructure as "one-shot" commands. The Kubernetes controller model provides a nicer approach to managing infrastructure, but the tooling here is also lacking. For configuration management, Helm just doesn't really scale with complexity, nor does Kustomize. For resource orchestration, Crossplane is a step in the right direction but still has challenges and limitations. As a…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
