What it does

The Slate helps teams understand their microservices better. It groups SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs with the business value of a particular service, along side architectural decisions. Ultimately turning tribal knowledge into organisational context

Bring business value to your Service Catalogue

By documenting your architecture decisions, you'll be able to link all your services impacted by this change. Coming soon, you'll be able to aggregate your critical product metrics from other services into one place. By grouping even more insights; the more you know, the better decisions you make. Do you want to implement effective change, increase ROI, and make your team more awesome than they already are? The slate was created and run by a guy named Pete , who has worked in technical leadership roles for over a decade. He's never found anything that correctly communicates Service Level Indicator (SLIs), Service Level Objective (SLOs) and Service Level Agreement (SLOss) with his…from theslate.co

    Hey HN — I’m Adil from Katanemo (with Salman, Shuguang, and Meiyu) We previously shared an early version of this project as ArchGW. Based on customer feedback, the scope expanded from “LLM routing and model access” into something broader: delivery infrastructure for agentic applications. We renamed it to Plano and reworked the architecture accordingly. The problem On-the-ground AI practitioners will tell you that calling an LLM is not the hard part. The really hard part is delivering agentic applications to production quickly and reliably, then iterating without rewriting system code every…

    Hi 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…
