In plain words

Tyk is an open source API gateway written in Golang that provides API management across REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and other protocols. It includes rate limiting, authentication, governance, analytics, a developer portal, and a dashboard. Built for teams that need control over their infrastructure and data, Tyk offers observability and audit trails for APIs and agent traffic on a unified control plane.

From the sources

One unified control plane for every API and AI protocol – REST, GraphQL, gRPC, MCP, A2A. Rate limiting, auth, governance and observability for APIs and AI agents alike. Full control of your data, your stack and your costs. When something needs attention, you’re the first to know. Remote MCP servers, A2A calls, LLM requests – the moment agent traffic crosses your network, it’s API traffic. Tyk governs it on the same control plane as your REST and GraphQL APIs, with the same rate limiting, auth, observability and audit trail – on infrastructure you control, so prompts, tool calls and agent data never transit someone else’s cloud. AI governance sits on top…from tyk.io

    We built Gonzo to make log analysis faster and friendlier in the terminal. Think of it like k9s for logs — a TUI that can ingest JSON, text, or OpenTelemetry (OTLP) logs, highlight and boil up patterns, and even run AI models locally or via API to summarize logs. We’re still iterating, so ideas and contributions are welcome!

    Hi Hacker News! My name is Sagar, I’m working on a startup called Speakeasy - we’re making all APIs self-service. The platform is currently in beta, but we’re independently launching this tool which you can use to generate language-idiomatic, statically-typed TS SDKs from any public OpenAPI schemas. We hope to continue iterating on this to give devs a way to easily generate high fidelity client SDKs for all the major languages. Inspiration for this product is from past experiences struggling with OpenAPI. I was originally optimistic about using the OpenAPI tools to build out our offering,…

    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…
