In plain words
ob1 by Outerbase is an AI-powered backend generation tool that creates APIs, databases, and backend functions from natural language prompts. It automatically generates database schemas and can provision a new database if needed, handling entire backend infrastructure setup. The tool is designed for developers who want to quickly scaffold backend systems without manual configuration. It was in private beta at launch.

From the sources
ob1 is the first auto-generative backend. It creates your entire backend needs including functions, schema, and it'll even spin up a database if you don't have one. Currently it's in private beta, but we were so excited that we had to share it!

Really excited to share this, with new features like v0, tldraw, magicpatterns, and other AI tools for UI generation, we figured why not do the same for APIs and backends? Once you provide a prompt, image, or your code, ob1 generates the DDL for the SQL, the functions to power it, and even deploys it for you. As far as next steps: our goal is to open-source this we're just dog fooding a lot of Outerbase right now to prove it out and we are peeling that back to make it so you can run it all locally.

SpeedVitals▲829Hi HN, I’m Kashish, one of the co-founders of SpeedVitals, a platform for testing & monitoring website performance with a major emphasis on Core Web Vitals. Until now, our platform has only focused on Synthetic/Lab testing, such as Lighthouse tests and TTFB tests. But now, we have developed a Real-User Monitoring platform that doubles up as a Web Analytics tool. One major feature we have that most RUM tools lack is Performance Audits. Just like Lighthouse audits work on Lab test data, our audits work across all the real-user visits and gives suggestions on what task to prioritize first.…
