Micro – Platform APIs built for developers
Hey all, Just reposting after about a year since the last time I shared. Micro is a platform for API development. It combines a lot of the core primitives you'd expect from a cloud platform as a single logical server. The closest equivalent is Dapr.io. It bakes in the concept of environments, source to running builds and a framework for Go development. It's useful where you want to write backend services in Go and expose them through a single API (also included in Micro). We once wrote about "Netlify for the frontend, Micro for the backend"…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey all, Just reposting after about a year since the last time I shared. Micro is a platform for API development. It combines a lot of the core primitives you'd expect from a cloud platform as a single logical server. The closest equivalent is Dapr.io. It bakes in the concept of environments, source to running builds and a framework for Go development. It's useful where you want to write backend services in Go and expose them through a single API (also included in Micro). We once wrote about "Netlify for the frontend, Micro for the backend" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25068782 which went down well on HN. From a purely open source perspective my goal is to continue to evolve Micro as a community led effort, whereas previously I was trying to push for VC funding and building a product (been there, done that with M3O.com powered by Micro). By sharing this I'm hoping to just shine a light on the upcoming trend of platform engineering and the need for platform APIs as part of the offering. If this doesn't go down well, I'll write a more thoughtful blog post on platform APIs and how Micro/Dapr play a role in that. Edit: wrote the blog post https://micro.dev/blog/2023/03/20/platform-apis

I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
