TraceLens

Stop guessing. Find the bottleneck.

TraceLens launched on August 25, 2026 with 2 votes, #5,788 of 23,274 launches that month.

What it does

Scientific API latency diagnostics. Identifies N+1 queries, unindexed SQL, slow 3rd-party APIs, and serial execution bottlenecks with actionable code diffs.

Find the bottleneck. Understand the root cause. Generate the fix — without digging through 10 dashboards. Your endpoint executes a database query once for each item (20 repeated queries) instead of fetching the related records in a single batch or JOIN. Replace repeated child queries with an eager-loading JOIN, Prisma `include`, or Drizzle `with` relation batch query. Endpoint performs 41 uncached database reads taking 1465ms total, despite being a read-only GET endpoint. Introduce a Redis / Upstash cache layer with TTL (e.g. `redis.get(key)`) or HTTP Stale-While-Revalidate caching. 40 independent asynchronous operations are executed sequentially with individual `await` calls instead of…from trace.aniketh.tech

    Sping – An HTTP/TCP latency tool that's easy on the eye2025 · dseltzer.gitlab.io · ▲178

    I've frequently found myself using [nvitop](https://github.com/XuehaiPan/nvitop) to diagnose GPU/CPU contention issues. The two best things about it are: - It's easy to install if I can access pip in the container - It makes a compelling screenshot (which helps me communicate with coworkers.) With those two lessons in mind: Here is Sping! Purpose: Help observe and diagnose latency issues at layer 4+ (TCP/HTTP/HTTPS) Two good things about it: - It's easy to install if you have pip.

    Hey HN. We’re Jay and Vadim from Highlight.io (https://highlight.io). We’re building an open source [1] monitoring platform for web applications. Today we’re excited to be sharing a performance tool we’ve been working on, which helps you inspect the latency of code execution from the client to the server. As engineers at past startups, we often had to debug slow queries, poor load times, inconsistent errors, etc... While tools like Jaegar [2] helped us inspect server-side performance, we had no way to tie user events to the traces we were inspecting. In other words, although we had…

    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…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
