Kerno
Hey HN! Anibal, Sean, Vlad, Maxi and Karim here we're the co-founders of Kerno (https://www.kerno.io/). We're building a zero-hassle tool to help developers monitor and troubleshoot their services in a way that makes sense. No complex rollouts, no custom infra, no tons of instrumentation, no sidecars… none of that! Just a minimum effort, out-of-the box, highly contextualized and interactive experience so you and your team can focus on shipping! We basically scan your cluster resources, build usable abstractions on top of all the kubernetes craziness, identify monitor your…

In plain words
Kerno.io is a monitoring and troubleshooting tool designed for developers working with Kubernetes clusters. It automatically scans cluster resources and creates simplified abstractions to identify service interactions and trace errors without requiring complex setup, custom infrastructure, or extensive instrumentation. The platform integrates with code versioning and CI systems to provide contextualized insights, helping developers understand end-user impact and prioritize issues efficiently.

From the sources
Never manually write, or and maintain backend tests again! Kerno automates integration testing end-to-end inside your IDE. It understands your codebase, generates meaningful tests, spins up test environments, executes tests, and delivers instant audit reports to catch issues early, validate changes before committing your code. Use Kerno to: → Catch breaking changes at source → Augment current Code-Gen loops with test data → Audit AI generated code in real-time → Increase test coverage
Kerno writes and runs backend tests against your running app and real dependencies, catching the regressions and security issues code review and AI-written tests miss.
Runs in every coding session against your running app and dependencies to catch real regressions and security issues your agent and code review tools miss. Your coding agent's tests carry the same blind spots as its code. Static review only catches the obvious, and manual checking doesn't scale. Slop piles up, draining engineering time and slowing releases. Give every developer and agent staff-level testing knowledge to catch the expensive runtime issues DIY testing and code review miss, right at the source. Kerno catches the functional and security bugs that only surface at runtime, before they ship. Kerno maps the blast radius of a change and tests every path it touches. Kerno gives…from kerno.io

Koreo – A platform engineering toolkit for Kubernetes2025 · koreo.dev · ▲120A 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…

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
