Hi NH, I write a newsletter about system performance, scalability, and efficiency. I analyse technical articles and connect the ideas behind them. I’d love your feedback. About myself: I previously built large-scale data plane systems, caching layer, and a distributed load testing platform at one of Japan’s largest e-commerce companies. I love performance related topics, especially around scale and efficiency in software engineering. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49549849 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

Show HN: litelink - local-first, embedded stream capture into Iceberg tables Hi HN! I just wanted to share litelink a local-first, embedded capture library I built in python (code is heavily AI generated but designed and reviewed by yours truly). Litelink supports a single writer per stream. I've been doing a lot of development and deployments on tiny VMs (2 vCPU, 8GB, 50-100GB disk) and didn't want the complexity or cost of managing central brokers (Kafka), databases (Postgres), and CDC/connectors just to get queryable WebSocket stream capture running. With litelink, you configure a log in c…
You have seen Pangolin ( https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin ) on here before for our open-source zero-trust network access suite of tools. We are launching a new AI gateway that takes a different approach to auth. Rather than authenticating requests to AI providers with API keys, it authenticates the network connection itself via a desktop app. Each user gets a WireGuard tunnel back to the gateway, established after they log in through their existing identity provider (Okta, Azure, Google, etc) via a desktop app. That tunnel is the auth, so there is no key to generate, embed, rotate, or leak,…

Hey guys! So we initially built this for our mobile game dev studio to automate handling of support tickets. But we added a bunch of useful features on top. We quite liked using it and decided to spend the past four months so that anyone can use it. I'm happy to announce that now it's live with a free tier. I want to keep building on top of this and make it as useful as it can be while requiring the least amount of human input. I have a bunch of ideas for features, and I look forward to hearing any ideas from you. Thanks for reading. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49549677…

My co-founder and I tried running Google Ads for our Shopify store, but we could not get a positive ROAS (we spent 150USD on a single conversion). As we also could not afford an agency, we turned to AI (IMO Codex >>> Claude Code). We found that Google’s Ads MCP could only read data, but it could not make changes. So we built our own hosted MCP with read and write access. It can inspect performance, find wasted spend, create or update campaigns, and work with Google Analytics and Tag Manager.
