Programmatic load balancer backed by Etcd. Contribute to vulcand/vulcand development by creating an account on GitHub.

In plain words

Vulcand is a programmatic load balancer for microservices and APIs that uses Etcd as its backing store. It allows developers to dynamically configure routing and load balancing rules through code rather than static configuration files. The tool is designed for teams managing distributed systems who need flexible, real-time control over how traffic is distributed across service instances. Vulcand is open-source and available on GitHub.

    Tilde started from a simple observation: AI agents are only as useful as the environment they can work in. Giving an agent a prompt is easy. Giving it the right files, credentials, tools, context, and execution environment, safely and repeatably, is much harder. Over the past year, we learned a lot

    Novanode, Global load balancing with Caddy, no vendor lock-in2025 · ▲77

    I've been a long-time Cloudflare user, but sometimes I just want a global load balancer without the lock-in and with full configuration control (e.g., some Cloudflare rules require an enterprise plan). I love Caddy for its easy configuration, and that's why I created Novnaode. It makes it easy to launch hosted Caddy instances (with Nginx coming soon) and puts you fully in control of how to manage the configurations. No more being restricted by enterprise tiers or limited configuration options - just simple, powerful, and flexible global load balancing. Check it out here:…

    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…
