The Bridge
Declarative dataflow for API integrations
What it does
The Bridge replaces imperative orchestration code with staticbridge files. Instead of writing complex async/await logic, manual Promise.all wrappers, and custom data mappers, you simply define what data you need and where it comes from. The Bridge engine parses your wiring diagram, builds a dependency graph, and executes it - automatically handling parallelization, fallbacks, and data reshaping.

Hey HN, I'm excited to share Orbital, a new approach for unifying APIs and Data sources! Rather than relying on glue code to bridge endpoints, Orbital leverages annotations in schemas & API specs to build the integration dynamically. The traditional method of crafting glue code often becomes repetitive and burdensome to maintain in the long run. With Orbital, developers embed tags to their existing API specs (OAP, Protobuf, etc), indicating where data can be sourced, and publish these specs to Orbital (which runs self-hosted). Consumers query these tags with our TaxiQL language, and Orbital…

Hello HN, It has been a while since I contributed to the web, so I decided to get back in shape and publish "something". This app is a POC of "what if diagrams were more dynamic". I'm a software engineer by trade, and with conventional tools, I often times struggle to explain flows of data in complex software systems. I got inspired by video games like The Incredible Machine and Factorio, as in some ways, software systems tend to become Rube Goldberg-esque machines ;) As a side quest, I also wanted to craft diagrams faster than text-based tools (ex: mermaid), as I am always forgetting their…
- POPatchwork – Open-source framework to automate development gruntwork2024 · github.com · ▲116
Hi HN! We’re Asankhaya and Rohan and we are building Patchwork. Patchwork tackles development gruntwork—like reviews, docs, linting, and security fixes—through customizable, code-first 'patchflows' using LLMs and modular code management steps, all in Python. Here's a quick overview video: https://youtu.be/MLyn6B3bFMU From our time building DevSecOps tools, we experienced first-hand the frustrations our users faced as they built complex delivery pipelines. Almost a third of developer time is spent on code management tasks[1], yet backlogs remain. Patchwork lets you combine…
