In plain words
Parallec is a Java library that enables fast parallel requests across multiple servers using HTTP, SSH, TCP, UDP, and ping protocols. It allows developers to aggregate data from numerous APIs and execute commands across distributed systems efficiently. The library is designed for operations teams and developers who need to query or manage large numbers of servers simultaneously, supporting thousands of concurrent connections in minimal time.

Faster FastAPI with simdjson and io_uring on Linux 5.192023 · github.com · ▲290A few months ago, I benchmarked FastAPI on an i9 MacBook Pro. I couldn't believe my eyes. A primary REST endpoint to `sum` two integers took 6 milliseconds to evaluate. It is okay if you are targeting a server in another city, but it should be less when your client and server apps are running on the same machine. FastAPI would have bottleneck-ed the inference of our lightweight UForm neural networks recently trending on HN under the title "Beating OpenAI CLIP with 100x less data and compute". (Thank you all for the kind words!) So I wrote another library. It has been a while since I have…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…
