Thand – open-source, distributed, JIT, PAM and provisioning platform

Hey HN! We are building Thand, an open-source, distributed platform for Just-in-Time (JIT) access, authorization (PAM), and provisioning. Why? I’ve been at various companies now; either having to raise tickets, waiting on internal processes to get access to systems, resources or SaaS tools. Or, having extremely elevated accounts all in one place and as a single point of failure when services go down just as you need them. None of the available PAM tools seemed easy to work with, so it got me seeking an alternative. What is Thand? Thand is a lightweight, open source and self-hosted agent that…

    Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

  • Open-source user onboarding and KYC flow made with Svelte (~50kb)2022 · github.com · ▲254

    Hi everyone, We’re building an open-source identity and risk management platform and we’ve just released the first chunk of code, a fully customizable KYC flow & UI, to the public. We’ve chosen to use Svelte so our flows would be lightweight (it is ~50kb gzipped). Next up: - Adding forms and components for it to be used as a full onboarding flow. - Releasing an open-source case management dashboard, for manual approval of users. - Releasing an open-source rule engine, to help automate decisions. We’d love to hear your feedback, suggestions, or any question you’ve got. And if the rest of the…

  • We built an open-source LaunchDarkly alternative for B2Bs2023 · enrolla.io · ▲114

    Hey HN, Nir, Gal and Tomer here. Last week, we open-sourced Enrolla (https://github.com/enrolla/enrolla) - feature management for SaaS companies. It makes it easy for developers to control how their product behaves for customers in different pricing tiers. So things like which features are enabled for whom, rate limits and seat limits, but also your customer secrets (with end-to-end encryption), and other configurations. After 15 years of working together at various companies, where we rebuilt the same SaaS foundation layer again and again - we wanted to create something…
