Show HN: Specfy – Stack Intelligence Platform
github.com
Very excited to be launching Specfy, an open source platform to improve the way we talk about infrastructure and technology inside our organizations (https://github.com/specfy/specfy).
During my time at Algolia --and previous--, I often felt the communication around production, tech choices and infrastructure was messy at best. Trying to understand how various components came together across teams or sifting through documentation scattered everywhere left me thinking there had to be a better way. Almost nobody, from engineering to C-level, could entirely list what was currently in production, how it was built and, sometimes, why it was built. So, I decided to create something to address it.
Specfy is what came out of that frustration. It's a platform that ingest all your GitHub repositories and extracts metadata, to create a continuously updated infrastructure graph and tech stack documentation.
It's open source: https://github.com/specfy/specfy + https://github.com/specfy/stack-analyser
You can try it here: https://app.specfy.io/
Short demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DuMBEB0PLY
It’s an open beta and as a solo founder I had to make hard choices regarding what features would land on production right now, but I would love feedback from the Hacker News community. I’m sure this problematic will resonate to some of you.
Feel free to reach out to me samuel@specfy.io or contributes to the repositories.
